Happiness Is..
Happiness
original words by B. Anderson Jr.
sung by Gerard and Lea Salonga
additional verses by Ryeness, inspired by the recent events in a friend's life
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you
Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you
swarmed with beautiful people and gorgeous models.
Happiness is realizing that he does care for you,
because he got upset when you did something nasty.
Happiness is seeing him make an effort to get to know your friends;
and seeing him make an effort so you could meet his.
Happiness is finding out that he took a picture of you
while you were in drag without you knowing
and that he uses that picture as the wallpaper
for the same phone he used to photograph you.
Happiness is receiving an sms from him,
just as you were dreading the thought that
the night would go by without you seeing him,
saying "Please come over."
Happiness is brushing his hair with your hand
as you sit on the couch and he,
on the floor, between your legs, while watching a movie.
Happiness is sleeping on the same bed with him,
skin to skin, without feeling the obligation to have sex.
Happiness is waking up in the arms of someone
who doesn't fall under the category of one-night stand.
Happiness is receiving a call from him
in the middle of the day,
just because he wants you to hear how good his day is going.
