The Happiest Days Lyrics

It happened on a sunny day
The one I love had come my way
She opened up the door for me
Love and kindness was the key, yeah

She's like my God above
She's the one I'm thinking of, yeah

These are the happiest days
These are the happiest days

When I first met you
I didn't know what to do
You were so good to me
Love and kindness was the key

You treated me so very good
Oh, I knew that you would
I will never let you go
I'll keep you forever more, um

These are the happiest days

Yeah, I asked myself is it a dream
Funny but that's how it seems
My feelings for her grow
I'll never let her go, never no

These are the happiest days
These are the happiest days

Never would I let you go
I need your love more and more
Can you see how strong I feel?
My love is so damn real

You never would begin to know
How much I cherish your soul
I'd lay down my life for you
You know I love you

These are the happiest days

We were two good, now we're one
And the fun had just begun
Shine, shine on that light
Girl, girl, wait until tonight

These are the happiest days
These are the happiest days

Never would I let you go
I need your love more and more
Can you see how strong I feel?
Our love is so very real

You never would begin to know
How much I cherish your soul
I'd lay down my life for you
'Cause that's how much I love you

Oh yeah, oh

1) Slave was an Ohio funk band popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Trumpeter Steve Washington and Mark Hicks (Drac) formed the group in Dayton, Ohio in 1975.

Trombonist Floyd Miller teamed with Tom Lockett Jr. (sax, keyboards), Carter Bradley (trombone), Mark Adams (bass), Mark Hicks (lead and rhythm guitar, lead and background vocals), Danny Webster (rhythm guitar, lead and background vocals), Orion Wilhoite (keyboards), and Tim Dozier (drums). Vocalists Steve Arrington, Starleana Young, then Curt Jones and keyboardist Raye Turner came aboard in 1978, with Arrington ultimately becoming lead vocalist. Their first big hit was the single "Slide" in 1977 for Cotillion Records, where they remained until 1984. Their best work was usually based on bass licks and the band's general arrangements emphasis on the rhythm section and soaring lead vocals.

Other Top Ten R&B hits were "Just a Touch of Love" in 1979, "Watching You" in 1980, and "Snap Shot" in 1981. They added Charles Carter on sax and brother Sam Carter on keyboards. Young, Washington, Jones and Lockett departed to form Aurra in 1981. Slave added Roger Parker, Delbert Taylor,JR., and Kevin Johnson as replacements. Arrington himself left in 1982 after the Showtime album. They continued on, though much less successfully, into the late 1980s.

They moved to Atlantic Records for one LP in 1984, then switched to the Atlanta-based Ichiban Records in 1986. Their most recent release was The Funk Strikes Back in 1992. Rhino issued Stellar Fungk: The Best of Slave Featuring Steve Arrington, an anthology of their finest cuts, in 1994.

2) The hip-hop artist SLAVE has released “El Che” as a single in early 2010. There will be a few releases during ‘10 including “Will I Ever Be Free?” demo tape along with some mixtapes. You can find El Che and future releases through blogspot, tumblr, etc.
