IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY 102320
A friend asked me,
“Don’t you have any happy songs?”
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I’m telling you true
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears
If it makes you happy I will hide my tears
If it makes you happy I’m telling you true
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too
There will be days when the rains will fall
We’ll go out and wash the car
Jump in the puddles and dance in the grass
Try to answer the questions our Mama will ask
(What are you kids doing out there?)
If it makes you happy I will scratch your back
Put a dozen bunnies in your gunny sack
If it makes you happy I’m telling you true
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will hold your bike
Un til you get your balance and learn to ride
If it makes you happy I’m telling you true
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too
There’ll be days when the sun will shine
I’ll be yours and you will be mine
We’ll jump in the puddles, dance in the grass
Answer all the questions our mama will ask
If it makes you happy. Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
If it makes you happy Oh oh oh
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too.

Tim Tandy James Michael Taylor , have loved this song from the first time I heard it. Like so many of your compositions, it's refreshingly straightforward, simple and playful- characteristics all too rare in many relationships.
nice sing-a-long, James!!
