Happiness is two kinds of ice cream Finding you skate key, telling the time Happiness is learning to whistle Tying your shoe for the very first time Happiness is playing the drum In your own school band And happiness is walking hand in hand Happiness is five different crayons Knowing a secret climbing a tree Happiness is finding a nickel Catching a firefly, setting it free Happiness is being alone every now and then And happiness is coming home again Happiness is morning and evening, Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you Happiness is having a sister Sharing a sandwich getting along Happiness is singing together When day is through And happiness is those who sing with you Happiness is morning and evening Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you
