Give It a Shot
My love of life can really be explained
By a very happy childhood, a very happy first marriage
And a very loving and happy second marriage
What more can anyone ask for
I realize I'm one of the more fortunate ones
Believe me, I am so very thankful of that
I wish I could transfer some of my happiness and good fortune
To those who have been less fortunate than I
My happiness and lust for life can be transferred
To those in our immediate circle of friends and family
But more difficult to reach the cashier at the local supermarket
Or others who hold menial jobs
But it's basically, “think happy” and you will “be happy”...
It ain't rocket science!
I realize for some, this might be more difficult than others to achieve
But if you don't give it a shot, you'll never know for sure!
