Just a breeze will muss your hair But you smile away each little care And if the rain should make you blue You say tomorrow is a new Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair You realize beyond a care Life's in a hurry, but You've got no worry, you're So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad And when the leaves begin to fall Answering old winter's call I feel my tears, they fall like rain Weeping forth the sad refrain Blue, dark, and dim it may seem You mark a grin, a moonbeam Brightens your smile, pray tell me How all the while you can be So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad You say "take my hand and walk with me Wake this land and stop the sea Show me love, unlock All doors I'm yours" Then the tide rolls up to shore I whisper low, "I love you more More than even you could know" Adore me do so I could show I'm so mystifyingly glad Not Mr. Dieingly Sad
