Happy Girl by Debbie Anthony from Rochester United States

Overheard my man the other day
Listened close thought I heard him say
That girl of mine is oh so sweet
Good lord she knocks me off my feet
She brings me up when I’m down
Makes me smile when she comes around
How she brightens my world, she’s a happy girl

(Now listen here…)
I find joy in the here and now
Don’t waste time asking why or how
This point of view has set me free
Pray for the best; tell you what I see (yeah)
Tears turning to diamonds shining
In a desert of sand I’m finding
A deep ocean of pearls, I’m a happy girl. (such a happy girl)

Squeeze an hour from a minute
I feel joy instead of pain
I laugh at fear and trouble
And make sunshine out of rain
And every waking minute I know that I’ve been blessed
To be a happy girl and give this troubled world
A little love and happiness, I’m a happy girl (2X )

(There’s just one more thing)
So won’t you take a little tip from me
Start to smile and then you’ll see
Those storm clouds you can give away
To blue skies and a sunny day (yeah)
And start sharing your joy
With all the men and women every girl and boy
And you’ll conquer the world, and be a happy girl,
Yeah, such a happy girl, a happy girl…
