The Bluebird of Happiness In Winter ...

“…So be like I, hold your head up high

Till you find a bluebird of happiness

You will find greater peace of mind

Knowing there’s a bluebird of happiness

And when he sings to you

Though you’re deep in blue

You will see a light creep through

And so remember this, life is no abyss

Somewhere there’s a bluebird of happiness

 

For life is sweet, tender and complete

When you find the bluebird of happiness

You will find perfect peace of mind

Knowing there’s a bluebird of happiness

Two hearts beat as one

Beneath a new found sun

We are in a world that’s just begun

And you must sing his song, as you go along

When you find the bluebird of happiness …”
