+Amnaa Nisar Basically, Glinda is in a position where she finally has everything she thought she wanted, but realizes that she's not as happy as she thought she would be. At that point, she has to convince herself, at least in front of the public, that she is truly happy:

"That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well, not "simply"
Cause in your dreams. it's strange but it seems a little, well... complicated
There's a kind of a sort of, cost
There's a couple of things get, lost
There are bridges you cross you didn't know you've cross until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still- with this perfect finale
The cheers in the valley, who
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens
When your dreams come true!"

Throughout that piece of the song, there are several different changes of pace and rhythm to get across the point that she's very conflicted about her feelings.

Thank Goodness is one of my favorite songs of the whole soundtrack, mostly because it says so much without saying much at all.. it has a beautiful bittersweet tone, Glinda isn't over losing her friend to her fleeing, and she never will be, but she knows that she cant show it. She just needs to smile and wave, she needs to be happy, the people need her to be happy, but why isnt she happy? She asks herself..

"I should be happy, but I'm not.." she truly loved Elphaba. And she cared about her so deeply..

She is one of the faces of Oz, she needs to be happy, so the people are happy.. in one of her quotes in the show mentions how she's looked up to.

And during For Good, Glinda says that Elphaba was the only friend out of her many many friends, that truly mattered..

Thank Goodness isnt about a celebration of marriage.. it's a bittersweet song about a loss of heart..

That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
(spoken) Well - not "simply":
(sung) 'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of a cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill you like you think it will
Still -
With this perfect finale
The cheers and ballyhoo
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens
When your dreams come true!

Just perfect how Kristen captures Glinda's sadness from missing Elphaba in this scene! Just pure perfection

@danceballetacro

its not missing elphaba, its knowing truth and choosing to live a lie. we all do it and kristin captured it perfectly.
