Martin Carthy & Eliza Carthy - Happiness lyrics

rate me

Happiness is like a bird with twenty wings

Try 2 catch him as he flies

Happiness is like a bird that only sings

When his head is in the skies

You can try 2 make him walk beside you

You can say the door is open wide

If you grab at him, woe betide ya

I know because I've tried

Like a butterfly upon an April mornin'

Very quickly takin' fright

Happiness is come & gone without a warnin'

Jack O Lantern in the night

I will follow him across the meadow

I will follow him across the hills

& if I can catch him I will try 2 bring you

Oh, yes, happiness & if I can catch him I will try 2 bring you

All my love & happiness
