- Land of Happiness -

When our hearts met, a star was born in a land of happiness In this land you are the king, and I am the queen We live with delight in loves sweet harmony Ruling the land as the passionate dream team It has beautiful flowers and luscious fruit trees With clear blue skies and air free from disease Golden meadows with clear flowing streams And flower scented air that floats in the breeze The sky at the night is filled with a multitude of stars As I look at them all I see the one that is ours It warms my heart, and brings a smile to my face With you in this land of happiness, there is no greater place A collaboration with smiles :) :o) by Dan Kearly and Anne-Lise Andresen 2-3-12 Copyright © All Rights Reserved (3rd place in the contest)
