So Many Things (Happiness Could Be)

[Verse 1] A poet once asked me,

wondering soft and free

What happiness could truly be

And looking at this world,

I tried my best to see

Oh poet, my dear poet

So many things in this sweet life

Happiness could be,

so many things in life Happiness could be

[Chorus] It could be a spider resting in her silken bed After weaving every thread

And the taste of a hummingbird’s kiss upon a flower’s head

Spreading blossoms where it’s led

I think all of this is happiness, you see

That’s the best I can decree

'Cause if this isn’t happiness,

then what else Could happiness be?

So many things in this sweet life Happiness could be,

so many things in life Happiness could be

[transition] the seven rainbow colors in your eyes At the breaking of sunrise

Playing ball upon the sand,

holding the full moon’s hand

When the evening starts to rise

[Verse 4] It could be singing in the shower,

scrubbing every hour

Being all you’re meant to be

And dreaming wide awake of an enchanted world to make So much better, so much free It could be playing with a beautiful fish

Big or small, a tiny wish — a creature running wild

And having many friends,

new or from back when

But all true until the end

[Outro] I think all of this is happiness, you see

That’s the best I can decree

'Cause if this isn’t happiness,

then what else Could happiness be?

And so many things in this sweet liiiiife Happiness could be, so many things in liiiiife Happiness could be.
