Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe

He has a way that makes the lilacs want to grow

He has a smile that makes the angels heave a sigh

When they see my Joe passing by

Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table is bare

But when he kisses me it's Christmas everywhere

Troubles fly away and life is easy-go

But does he love me good? That's all I want to know

Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe

Troubles fly away and life is easy-go

But does he love me? That's all I want to know

Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
