glad bluebird of happiness

i was walking down the road

not caring much where i was going

a heavy pack upon my back

burly good with inner sad of loneliness

when fluttered by this bird of blue

he said i'll tell you what i 'll do

since you seem to be so sad

i will try and be your glad. bluebird of happiness

and he goes flying

far over the ocean blue

bound for places

i am not known to. i decided to follow him

my thoughts have faded dim since then

blown foggy by the wind a paced

as from shore to shore we race

move from place to place

the moon is hot

the stars are cold. i've been there

thats how i know

i've touched the desert sunsets coat

placed to dove the melted snows of kilimanjaro

and he goes flying

far over the ocean blue

found the places

i am not known to. i'll follow that bird until he dies and when he does then so will i

i know i 'll never be the same

life to me is bound to change

when that ends the chase

i lift his body from the sea

let him dry in a trade wind breeze

find some merry christmas views

wrap them up and give them to you

my bluebird of happiness

and he goes flying

far over the ocean blue

found the places

i am not known to.
