  • 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

  • Bill from Rensselaer, NyJohn and Paul wrote "Misery" for Helen, but her management didn't like the song.
  • Ken from Louisville, KyIn 1963, Helen went on a British tour with the Beatles as one of the opening acts. When "From Me To You" became the group's second #1 song in a row, the positions reversed in mid-tour, with Helen opening for the Beatles. According to John Lennon, she was very gracious about it, and she was quite freindly with Paul McCartney and John. Paul and John would later be guests on Helen's UK TV show from time to time.
  • Michael from Bradford, EnglandI prefer her "Please Don't Treat Me Like a Child" (her first hit) that went to N°3 in the UK in March 1961.
    "You Don't Know" her first N°1 in the UK in June 1961 I thought better too.
