Happiness I remember that
I remember things that gave me that
I remember you and I remember them
I remember happiness; I hope I will have it again
To me the world is a terrible place
Especially all people of the human race
I’m the unluckiest person in the human race
I’ve got no silver and I’ve got no gold
And I have misery in my soul
Happiness to me is peace of mind
A body without ill or pain and it’s mine
A big old family with lots of love
Lots of kisses and lots of hugs
Oh happiness, happiness
I wished I was blessed with happiness
I ask the lord, please do bless
Me with more than my share of happiness
Happiness is having pride, having a future and life that’s a wonderful ride
A piece of wealth and a lot of health
And lots of friends to pick off the shelf
A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
You get what you mostly think about
And how I wanted to give that man a clout!
Oh happiness, happiness, is the greatest gift that I don’t possess
I pray to the lord that I be blessed with just a little piece of happiness
First of all let me apologise to hard-core Ken Dodd fans (like me) of which I have ruined a lovely song of. But I really wanted to write this, it used to be my favourite song and it used to annoy people and I think I may have sang it once too much to a jealous witch, because I feel cursed these days. I was so happy once on the first time I moved out that I was literally walking on air and being stupidly blind to the fact that it can someday go all wrong. I know, I know, it is a depressive’s version of the great Ken Dodd’s song and I even sing this in the same tune, sorry, not completely original, but it is my take on it. The tune is sung at a slower tempo as it is depressing, not at all like the original upbeat version Ken had made).
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord that I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
I’m just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I’ve got no silver and I’ve got no gold
But I’ve got happiness in my soul
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
A sunset fading on a mountain side
A big old heaven full of stars above
When I’m in the arms of the one I love
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord that I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness is a field of grain
Turning its face to the falling rain
I see it in the sunshine, breathe it in the rain
Happiness, happiness everywhere
A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
When you go to measuring my success
Don’t count my money count my happiness
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
I got more than my share of happiness
