Your Happiness
Your Happiness
Words & Music By Bryan Sirchio
If I tried to count the things I love about you
I don’t believe I’d ever quite complete the list
And if there comes a day when I must live without you
When I remember you, I know I’ll think of this
It’s not your kindness, though I love how kind you are
It’s not your thoughtfulness although I sure do love how far
You tend to go, to make sure your loved ones know
The special way you hold us in your heart
But of all the things I love about you baby
I think there’s one thing I have learned to love the most
It’s your almost always constant happiness
The way you fill each day with smiles and playfulness
In this world of so much sadness and brokenness and pain
Just to be around your gladness reminds me of the countless ways
I’ve been blessed, and one of the best
Is your happiness
Mother Teresa used to say as each day started
The last thing people who are down and troubled need
Is for us to walk around all heavy-hearted
The poor don’t need us to confirm their misery
A smiling face or two might be the thing God needs
To enact some kind of miracle that sets someone free
And all I know, is that wherever you go
Your joyful spirit brings a healing Light
Chorus
Bridge: And baby I know you’re human too
We all have our own shades of blue
But I’ve never seen you stay down for long…
If I tried to count the things I love about you
I don’t believe I’d ever quite complete the list
And if there comes a day when I must live without you
When I remember you, I know I’ll think of this
Chorus
