Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness To me this old world is a wonderful place And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race I've got no silver and I've got no gold Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness Happiness to me is an ocean tide Or a sunset fading on a mountain side Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above When I'm in the arms of the one I love Happiness is a field of grain Lifting its face to the falling rain I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain Happiness everywhere Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness A wise old man told me one time That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind I hope when you go to measuring my success That you don't count my money count my happiness Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
