Happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love

Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Ken Dodd (1964)

This is just such a lovely shot. Well captured. Glad to see this one - she did look so unhappy in the other. Viv

Could not help coming back to this one. The title is perfect. You really did a knockout job on this one.

She reminds me of Winnie from the wonder years.

shock, gasp, eek! Don't remember Winnie? Was "The Wonder Years" just a US phenomenon? This was the BEST show ever when I was growing up.....until it was canceled in 1993. I am still sad. Wink

You should definitely begin watching it. I think that show defined who I am today. Soooooo happy. I am smiling just thinking of the show as we think. Of course that's nostalgia for you. If I saw it today I would probably think it sucked. But that's why I refuse to watch it any more. I have to hang onto the myth that the world used to be a better place. Wink

OK, I remember her now. Wow I will have to watch the boys closely, if my little Chloe grows up to even resemble Winnie then I imagine they will be beating down the door.

Chloe is only 2yrs 5mths at the moment, so we should be ok for now Smile
