I want to be happy Happy for a while I want to smile a smile so wide As to no longer hide The agony inside To be happy, happy for a while Like I was when I was a little child No worries, no troubles, no problems Someone was always there Always there to solve them I was told it takes more muscles to frown Than to smile, so why is it easier for me to frown? I’m fed up of always looking Looking like I’m down I have joy that out weighs my pain I have a beautiful smile That can out shine the rain What would it take for me to have that? That moment to rejoice in a laugh as long as a mile I want to be happy And just smile for a while Written by Marcia S. McNeill Q: When is a relationship worth all your happiness?
