Diana Ross - the happening

이 노래는 사랑의 중요성을 깨닫고, 그것을 잃었을 때 느끼는 아쉬움과 삶의 변화를 표현한다
사랑이 떠난 후 세상이 무너질 수 있으며, 이런 경험은 누구에게나 일어날 수 있다고 경고한다
삶의 진실을 깨닫고, 꿈이 깨지는 순간의 복잡한 감정을 담고 있다

Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening
When you find that you left the future behind. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
Then you better beware of the happening
One day you're up, (One day you're up)
Then you turn around. (Then you turn around)
You find your world (You find your world)
Is tumbling down. (Is tumbling down)
It happened to me and it can happen to you
I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour. (It's the happening)
Yeah, riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams fell apart
When love walked away from my heart. (It's the happening)
'Cause when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening
Now I see life (Now I see life)
For what it is. (For what it is)
It's not a dream. (It's not a dream)
Ooh, it's not all bliss. (It's not all bliss)
It happened to me and it can happen to you. (Once)
