Lyrics

Happy Ways

Looking at the good things

All around me

Smiling at the people

That won't believe

My happy ways may raise a question

There is no answer, except in my dreams

There is no way to capture the sunshine

But it is foolish to fill from the night

Perfection, they say, will not last forever

But I can't help feeling someday it might

La-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la

Then something happens, it seems to go

Bad

Cancel the feeling, and look to the sky

No need to worry about consequences

Give it a giggle, instead of a sigh

Yeah, oh yeah

La-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la
