Happiness

Everyone needs a little happiness in his life.

Could you imagine a world full of anger and strife?

I can't; I love all my happy ways.

It makes me feel good to be happy and gay.

Whenever I'm unhappy, it always seems to rain.

As if even the elements share in my pain.

But soon the sun will come out, and all will be bright,

Now after my dark times I can see the light.

I can go back to my good ol' smile,

Now that I'm happy, it all seemed worth while!
