She said, “I wanted to hear a happy song,
oh
my darling little boy.
I
know that in this world there is plenty that is wrong,
but
if you know where to look there's also lots of joy.

“Just
a happy song, is that too much to ask?
Just
one happy song today.
Just
a happy song, before this life is past,
let's
have some happy songs along the way.

“I'm
so damn tired of crying all these tears,
tired
of hearing nothing but bitching all these years.
I
keep trying to look up, but I feel so damn weighed down.
I'm
trying to swim, please don't let me drown.”
Well,
you know, I think you're right.
I
think it's high time I tried,
got
to not keep all my joy locked in a jar.
So
here goes...
You
know that every time I see your face
it
brings me joy down in my heart.
You
know that every time we say goodbye
I
wish we never had to part.
I
do love you.
Well,
maybe that still sounds a little bit sad,
maybe
a little bittersweet in part,
but
I guess that for now it's the best that I had;
and
maybe a little bit of sweet's a good place to start,
not
all bitter.

a happy song, that's not too much to ask...
