Happy Man
( If I Ever Find the Time )
There's a road that someday I'm gonna
walk down,
If I ever find the time!
I'll dig my toes in that warm and
friendly sand,
And I'll be all through dreamin'
yeah,
Feelin' just like laughin'
Be a very happy man!
( La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la la!
)
There's a song that someday I'm gonna
sing,
If I ever find the time!
And I'll throw back my head and sing just
like a songbird,
And I'll be all through dreamin'
yeah,
Feelin' just like
laughin'
Be a very happy man!
( La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la la!
)
Time grows short and I haven't done a
thing,
Time grows short for the dreamer and his
dream,
Well a man who won't take a
chance,
He never finds the way,
But for the dreamer,
Tomorrow is never today!
( La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la la!
)
There's a girl that someday I'll say
hello to,
If I ever find the time!
I'll touch her hair and look into her
eyes,
And I'll be all through dreamin'
yeah,
Feelin' just like
laughin'
Be a very happy man!
( La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la la!
)
La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la
la!
( La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la la!
)
La, la la la, la . . . la la, la la la
la! ( fade out
)
