Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I love the way you love to live

You love life, your inspiration

I love the way that you give your heart so freely

You're a sweet sensation, you're my invitation to

[Verse 2]

Happiness, you're full of sweet surprises

Happiness, you fill my heart's desire more

More, more and more

And over and over again

Keep that goodness comin'

[Verse 3]

I love the way you watch the world

Through kind eyes, that's why you're never sad, sad

Things don't bother you like do's, don'ts and whys

You hold on to the good and you let the bad go on by

[Verse 4]

Yeah, yeah, happiness, I want your love forever

Happiness, give me your love forevermore

More, more and more

And over and over again

Keep that goodness comin'

[Verse 5]

Happiness, give me your love forever

Happiness, say you'll leave me nevermore

More, more and more

And over and over again

Keep that goodness comin'

[Verse 6]

Keep it comin'

Keep it comin'

Keep it, keep it, keep it comin'

Comin'

[Verse 7]

Keep it comin'

Keep it comin'

Keep it, keep it, keep it comin'

Whoa, yeah, comin'

[Verse 8]

Keep it comin'

Keep it comin'

Keep it, keep it, keep it comin'

Comin'
