Happiness is like a bird with twenty wings
try to catch him as he flies
Happiness is like a bird that only sings
when his head is in the skies
verse 2
You can try to make him walk beside you
You can say the door is open wide
If you grab at him, woe betide you,
I know because I've tried.
verse 3
Like a butterfly upon an April morning
very quickly taking fright
Happiness is come and gone without a warning
Jack-O-Lantern in the night
verse 4
I will follow him across the meadow
I will follow him across the hill
and if I can catch him I will try to bring you,
oh yes, happiness
If I can catch him I will try to bring you
all my love and happiness
