Make Me Happy
Give me all the riches
of the world and I’ll be happy,
I’ll be happy if you get me
all the comfort and luxury,
Happier still I would be if you
give me a flower-bedecked bed
to while away my days in the
company of a damsel instead;
Or,
Look in my eyes with love,
Holding my hand lead me
under a gentle sky
To the cool shades of a tree
swaying with the wind playfully
by a river flowing languorously,
Where the weary birds at dusk
come to roost--
And I’ll be as happy as a man can be!
