Another response to another question about all my sad songs. This one is actually not satirical, like most of my “happy” songs.

Sometimes things don’t work out
Quite the way we want them to
Sometimes what you want is
Standing right in front of you

Maybe it’s a cat
Lying in the window
Maybe it’s a Godchild
Or a dog who likes to swim

Let me dance, dance, dance
Let me sing a song for you
(Sing a song for you)
Let me dance, dance, dance
I’m so happy
Happy when I do
(Happy)

Maybe it’s a photograph
Taken on your wedding day
Surrounded by friends and family
It’s more than words can say

Maybe it’s an old friend
Who calls you on the phone
Or a wife with a hundred kisses
When you get home

Let me dance, dance, dance
Let me sing a song for you
(Sing a song for you)
Let me dance, dance, dance
I’m so happy
Happy when I do
(Happy)
