About the song
“Happy Together” is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts of music lovers for generations. Written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, and recorded by the American rock band the Turtles, this iconic song was released in January 1967 and quickly rose to the top of the charts. Peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, it became the band’s first and only chart-topper in the United States. The song’s success was not limited to the US, as it also reached the top 20 in various countries, including number 2 in Canada and number 12 in the UK.
The song’s lyrics, which express an unrequited, imagined love, were penned by Bonner and Gordon while they were members of the Magicians. The Turtles’ version, recorded in the Sunset Sound studio, features the newly arrived bassist Chip Douglas arranging the horns and backing vocals. The song’s catchy melody and harmonies have made it a staple of 1960s pop music, and it has been covered by numerous artists, including the soft rock duo Captain & Tennille.
Despite its age, “Happy Together” remains a beloved classic, and its influence can be seen in many modern pop songs. The song has been featured in numerous movies and TV shows, and its popularity has endured for decades. In recognition of its enduring appeal, BMI included the song in the list of the most-performed songs in the United States in the 20th century, and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007. The song’s legacy continues to inspire new generations of music fans, and its message of love and togetherness remains as relevant today as it was when the song was first released.

Lyrics
Imagine me and you I do
I think about you day and night
It’s only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy togetherIf I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy togetherI can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my lifeMe and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy togetherI can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my lifeMe and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy togetherMe and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for meSo happy together
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We’re happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together
