Happiness

When I see the trees sway with joy And the hills stand on their ears I’ll pay the piper to play a tune Mankind making music and wine. At the arrival of a new-born child Let the daffodils clap their hands Let the willows sing hallelujah songs O sweetness, laughter, love and life! A shower of confetti falls from the sky As the concerto dips for a vinyl spin Happy hearts take to the dance floor With diamond smiles on each face. O ecstasy, take me far away! Aloof from agony and pain Hide me inside the palm of the moon So I can forever sing like a finch.
