Lyrics / Happy

A day in my youth a friend said to me,
“I’m so sad, so sad, you see.”
But sad isn’t so sad, really.
Sad is kind of a happy thing.
I said to her,
“at least you still feel it.”
I said to her,
“at least you still know.”
I said to her,
“if you’re sad you can love.”
I said to her,
“if you’re sad you can grow.”

A day of my childhood, a sibling told me,
“I’m angry, so angry, you see.”
But angry’s not so bad, really.
Angry’s another happy thing.
I said to him,
“At least you still feel it.”
I said to him,
“At least you can know.”
I said to him,
“if you’re angry you’re passionate.”
I said to him,
“if you’re angry you can grow.”

My first day of highschool, a stranger told me,
“I’m happy, so happy, happy you see.”
And I was happy for her, and me.
Happy is a very happy thing.
I said to her,
“I’m glad you can feel it.”
I said to her,
“I’m happy you know.”
I said to her,
“If you’re happy you’re glowing.”
I said to her,
“Emotions can grow.”

A month later, a friend told me,
“I’m loving, in love, I love you see.”
And I was cheerful and very happy.
Because love is a very beautiful thing.
I said to him,
“It’s good that you feel it.”
I said to him,
“I’m proud that you know.”
I said to him,
“if you’re loving you’re perfect.”
I said to him,
“Your love will grow.”

A while went by, my friend said to me,
“I’m so sad, so sad, you see.”
And I was sorry but I knew that really,
heartbreak was another happy thing.
I said to him,
“At least you can feel it.”
I said to him,
“At least you still know.”
I said to him,
“If you’re sad you can love.”
I said to him,
“If you’re sad you can grow.”
