If you dress up nice to meet her, if you buy it by the liter
Happiness is better if you wear it like a sweater
If you write it in a letter, if you're grateful when you get her

And then you grow it like a tree and then invite it in for tea
Happiness is tenderness and glorious and emptiness
And happiness is everywhere, everywhere is happinessOh, everybody I know
