You Turn My Lows Into Highs


Don't know what this guy would do Without you peeps to brighten my day You're worth more than all the gold in the world Just to hear what you all have to say The difference between a happy and sad day Between sunshine and cloudy skies With each of the loving words you send me You turn my lows into highs Happiness is free, it's there for the taking Reach out and grasp the brass ring Though some days we lose sight of this fact And we lose our desire to sing It doesn't take special talent or knowhow We all have the ability to laugh But sometimes though, life has a nasty habit Sending negatives right off the graph So when this happens, grab hold of the ring Hang on for dear life, I implore Till whatever's causing you grief and despair Disappears and your faith is restored
