Intro: verse 1 Happiness is like a bird with twenty wings try to catch him as he flies Happiness is like a bird that only sings when his head is in the skies verse 2 You can try to make him walk beside you You can say the door is open wide If you grab at him, woe betide you, I know because I've tried. verse 3 Like a butterfly upon an April morning very quickly taking fright Happiness is come and gone without a warning Jack-O-Lantern in the night verse 4 I will follow him across the meadow I will follow him across the hill and if I can catch him I will try to bring you, oh yes, happiness If I can catch him I will try to bring you all my love and happiness
