Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Happiness is like a bird with twenty wings
Try to catch him as he flies
Happiness is like a bird, but only sings
When his head is in the skies
[Verse 2]
You can try to make him walk beside you
You can say the door is open wide
You can grab at him, woe betide you
I know because I've tried
[Verse 3]
Like a butterfly, upon an April morning
Very quickly taking fright
Happiness is come and gone without a warning
Jack-o'-lantern in the night
[Verse 4]
You can follow him across the meadow
You can follow him across the hill
And if I can catch him, I will try bring you
Why, yes, happiness
[Verse 5]
If I can catch him, I will try to bring you
All my love and happiness
