I'm gonna write a happy song
So, when I'm down and all alone,
I could sing it to myself
Until I'm up again.

Under cold winter moons
I'll sing of sunny afternoons,
Hum and whistle to myself
Until I'm up again.

But my heart plays, in minor,
One sad note after another,
And it repeats itself
Until I'm down again.

After a long somber night
I'll find my way to the morning light;
Softly whisper to myself
Until I'm up again.

No, I won't let the thought of you
Sneak in to my mind and paint it blue.
I'll have my song up on the shelf;
I'll pick it up again.

But my heart plays, in minor,
One sad note after another,
And it repeats it self
Until I'm down again.

La la la...

I'm gonna write a happy song
So, when I'm down and all alone,
I could sing it to myself
Until I'm up again.
