I Want To Be Happy Songtext
von Bud Powell

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 me

When I find a very lonely soul
Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal
I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy

I 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 you

When skies are gray and you say you are blue
I′ll send the sun smiling through

I 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 through

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.
