Happy Lessons

Benedick, i've been wondering how you stay so cheery all the time

Could you teach me, perhaps reach me in this lonely pit of gloom i hide?

Could you give me happy lessons?

Teach the corners of my mouth to smile

I haven't much to give back

But maybe we could hold hands for awhile

If you gave me happy lessons i could mend this broken wall

Hand-in-hand we'd walk along it

To make it last we would stall together

Happy-go-lucky is the key, you say but somehow i still can't see

Where does it come from, could

I get some for less than 5 humble pounds a week?

Could you give me happy lessons?

Teach the corners of my mouth to smile

I haven't much to give back

But maybe we could hold hands for awhile

If you gave me happy lessons i could mend this broken wall

Hand-in-hand we'd walk along it

To make it last we would stall together

Help me to see clearly

I want to be, to be free

Maybe all i have to do

Is let it go, let him take control

Let it go, let him take control

(let me be at peace with myself, let me be at peace)

Let it go, let him take control

(i want to be at peace with myself, let me be at peace)
