Happiness

Artist: Lea Salonga
Album: Little Ms. Lea Salonga: Small Voice
Title: Happiness (duet With Gerard Salonga)

Lea:
You know some kids ask us what happiness really is.
Well, to me happiness is a hamburger, going to the movies, new clothes.
Well, what's your happiness, Gerard?

Gerard:
My happiness is a hotdog sandwich, new rubber shoes, new t-shirts,
New jeans and also my favorite part of happiness is love.

Lea:
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Gerard:
Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again

Lea:
Happiness is morning and evening

Gerard:
Daytime and nighttime, too

Both:
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister

Lea:
Sharing a sandwich

Both:
Getting along

Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

I love this song. It makes me feel so carefree. My personal favorites are:

Happiness…
is getting along
is singing together when the day is through
is being alone every now and then
is coming home again

But the part that could really cost me some tears is Gerard’s line for his sister:
Happiness is having a sister. Isn’t that the loveliest thing to hear from a sibling?

And because happiness is anyone and anything at all that’s loved by you.

My happiness is my family and my joy is the Lord.
