I'm gonna write a happy song
So, when I'm down and all alone
I could sing it to myself
Until I'm up again

Under cold winter moons
I'll sing of sunny afternoons
Hum and whistle to myself
Until I'm up again

But my heart plays, in minor
One sad note after another
And it repeats itself
Until I'm down again

After a long somber night
I'll find my way to the morning light
Softly whisper to myself
Until I'm up again

No, I won't let the thought of you
Sneak in to my mind and paint it blue
I'll have my song up on the shelf
I'll pick it up again

But my heart plays, in minor
One sad note after another
And it repeats it self
Until I'm down again

La la la

I'm gonna write a happy song
So, when I'm down and all alone
I could sing it to myself
Until I'm up again
