Try to answer all the questions our mama will ask
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 to
If it makes you happy I will hold your bike
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 to
CHORUS
There will be days when the sun will shine
I will be yours and you will be mine
We’ll jump in the puddles
Dance in the grass
Answer all the questions our mother will ask…
If it makes you happy, ya ya ya
If it makes you happy ooo ooo ooo
If it makes you happy I’ll be happy too (2)

I have a rule:
Every song must have a cloud in it. In IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY the cloud is in the line, “If it makes you happy I will hide my tears.” Sometimes I say, “I will hide my fears.”
I like it. It's a bit genius but it does prove that you write songs that don't always make you cry. Tony Desmuke
Nola Lloyd Griffiths Wolley I love your story telling singing style. Takes me back to my childhood. Love it

I like it!
Yup! A classic. Great job James
