Proof that sometimes you’ve got to lose something to realize what you had, this catchy 1961 tune serves up a heartfelt apology on a platter of nostalgic doo-wop. Helen Shapiro's lyrics chart a love story where absence made the heart grow fonder—and considerably wiser. 🎶 With a pep in her step, she’s waltzing her way back to a love she took for granted, shedding loneliness and foolish pride like an ill-fitting coat. It’s a jubilant return to the affection she once tossed aside, promising to spread the news of her emotional homecoming far and wide. She’s learned from her tears and is ready to reclaim the happiness she once shared, proving that sometimes a little distance makes the encore all the sweeter.
Walkin' Back to Happiness
Lyrics
Funny, but it's true
What loneliness can do
Since I've been away
I have loved you more each day
Walking back to happiness, woopah oh yeah yeah
Said goodbye to loneliness, woopah oh yeah yeah
I never knew I'd miss you
Now I know what I must do
Walking back to happiness
I shared with you (yay, yay, yay, yay ba dum be do)
I'm making up for things we said, woopah oh yeah yeah
And mistakes to which they led, woopah oh yeah yeah
I shouldn't have gone away
So I'm coming back today
Walking back to happiness I threw away (yay, yay, yay, yay ba dum be do)
Walking back to happiness with you
Said farewell to loneliness I knew
Laid aside foolish pride
Learnt the truth from tears I cried
Spread the news I'm on my way, woopah oh yeah yeah
All my blues have blown away, woopah oh yeah yeah
I'm bringing you love so true
'Cause that's what I owe to you
Walking back to happiness I shared with you (yay, yay, yay, yay ba dum be do)
Walking back to happiness with you
Said farewell to loneliness I knew
Laid aside foolish pride
Learnt the truth from tears I cried
Spread the news I'm on my way, woopah oh yeah yeah
All my blues have blown away, woopah oh yeah yeah
I'm bringing you love so true
'Cause that's what I owe to you
Walking back to happiness I shared with you (yay, yay, yay, yay ba dum be do)
Walking back to happiness again
Walking back to happiness again
Walking back to happiness again
