I Want To Be Happy Lyrics - Thelonious Monk

I'm a very ordinary man 

Trying to work out life's happy plan 

Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me 

When I find a very lonely soul 

Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal 

I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy 

I want to be happy 

But I won't be happy 

Till I make you happy too. 

Life's really worth living 

When we are mirth giving 

Why can't I give some to you 

When skies are gray and you say you are blue 

I'll send the sun smiling through 

I want to be happy 

But I won't be happy 

Till I make you happy too. 

When skies are gray and you say you are blue 

I'll send the sun smiling through 

I want to be happy 

But I won't be happy 

Till I make you happy too.
