Woke up this morning
A smile on my face
Looked out at the world
What a beautiful place
The sun's shining
In a blue sky above
A home and family
Surrounded with love
And I'm a happy man
A happy man
I won't take time to be sad
I am a happy man
A happy man
Who's thankful and so glad
That I've been taught
Not to pity myself
But live every moment
Of life that's left
There's just not enough time
To be anything else
Anything else
But a happy man
I won't be bitter
Cause I won't take time
For that kind of thinking
To clutter my mind
A man just has
Such a little while
To spread a little joy
And give a smile
So I'm a happy man
A happy man
I won't take time to be sad
I am a happy man
A happy man
Who's thankful and so glad
That I've been taught
Not to pity myself
But live every moment
Of life that's left
There's just not enough time
To be anything else
Anything else
But a happy man
I've had misfortune
To visit on me
To break my weary spirit
And bring me to my knees
But a man can never learn
To appreciate this life
Till his joy's been mixed
With trouble and strife
So I'm a happy man
A happy man
I'll take the good with the bad
I am a happy man
A happy man
And I'm thankful and so glad
That I've been taught
Not to pity myself
But live every moment
Of life that's left
There's just not enough time
To be anything else
Anything else
But a happy man
