The Happy Tree

The Happy Tree I'd like to Think My Presence Here Is Important to Someone To Think a Single Soul Would Miss Me When I'm Gone I Haven't Always Lived My Life In Pain and Agony There Was a Time Not Long Ago When I Touched the Happy Tree It Was a Tree So Pretty With Fruits of Every Kind It Had the Best Life Had to Give It Had All You’d Ever Hope To Find The Two Main Things I Noticed Were Love and Happiness But They Were up too High I Can't Climb That High I Guess Once I Almost Reached Them And Life Became So Grand But They Pulled Away from Me All They Did Was Touch My Hand But for just a Precious Moment I glimpsed What Life Could Be It Was Too Far out of Reach But I Touched the Happy Tree!
