I Want to Be Happy Lyrics
I'm a very ordinary man
Trying to work out life's happy plan
Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto meWhen I find a very lonely soul
Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal
I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophyI want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.Life's really worth living
When we are mirth giving
Why can't I give some to youWhen skies are gray and you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling throughI want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.When skies are gray and you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling throughI want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.
