You're the Happy Song I Sing
Ferlin Husky · Your Sweet Love Lifted Me [Capitol] [1970]
(You're the happy song I sing)
I walk around a hummin' the same song every day
Folks hear me comin' a half of block away
But I never worry about that kind of thing
'Cause you're the happy song I sing.
I hear Mr Bluebird when he's a singing it out
But I doubt if that bluebird's got more to sing about
No matter the season for me it's always spring
'Cause you're the happy song I sing.
The way that I'm feeling why shouldn't I sing
When I got all the happiness your loving can bring
Some people may wonder just what's a causin' the change
This spell that I'm under has got me acting strange.
But it's just that feeling that only love can bring
'Cause you're the happy song I sing
Yeah, you're the happy song I sing
Yeah, you're the happy song I sing...
