Happy Life (E. Delaney, Barris )
You don’t need much for a happy life
You just need hope and peace of mind
A whole lot of loving and a little time
Can make your whole world go around
A friend to call on a Saturday
A quiet walk in the summer rain
The simple things in our everyday
Can bring us back to here, and now
Happiness Happiness Happiness
Right here Right at my finger tips
Happiness
You don’t need bait and a fishing line
When you got the catch of a lifetime
Everybody’s looking for a better find
Maybe that’s because they don’t have you
You help me smile when I’m sideways
We laugh out loud at the smallest things
And when this old world’s getting heavy
You bring me back to what is true
Happiness Happiness Happiness
Right here Right at my finger tips
Happiness
Take a good look at the sky, nature shows us
Weather and seasons bring change
I want to live my whole life from right now
Like this time means everything
You don’t need much for a happy life
Some letting go and being kind
And when your heart breaks open wide
Feeling the tender joy in you

I own all the other Charlie Parr albums...somehow missed this one. Great singer-songwriter with nothing but a resonator and stomping boot. Great like always. Bart
