Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're born with a magic key
It opens the door to miracles of spring
It takes you to wishing wells
To ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key won't unlock a thing
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin', in believin'
Let your address, be sunshine place
There's love and there's joy I'm told
Much more than your heart can hold
It's there like the ring you would grab
On a merry-go-round
The world isn't half as gray
With friends on a rainy day
But people keep away, when you wear a frown
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin', in believin'
Let your address, be sunshine place

Now once it was told to me
Someone once told me a secret
We're born with a magic key
We are all born with something special
It opens the door to miracles of spring
It unlocks wonderful things like new beginnings
It takes you to wishing wells
It leads you to places where dreams come true
To ice cream and carousels
To fun things like ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key won't unlock a thing
But without happiness, it's useless
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
You need to be happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
And show it with a warm, smiling face
I start believin', in believin'
I begin to believe
Let your address, be sunshine place
That your home should be a bright and joyful place
There's love and there's joy I'm told
I've been told that there's lots of love and joy in the world
Much more than your heart can hold
So much that you can't even describe it
It's there like the ring you would grab
Like the ring you would grab on a merry-go-round
On a merry-go-round
Or on a carousel
The world isn't half as gray
The world isn't as dull as it seems
With friends on a rainy day
With good friends, even a rainy day can be fun
But people keep away, when you wear a frown
But if you're unhappy and frown a lot, people might avoid you
