Love & Happiness
Nelson Lyrics


Here's a wishing well
Here's a penny for
Any thought it is
That makes you smile
Every diamond dream
Everything that brings
Love and happiness
To your life

And here's a rabbit's foot
Take it when you go
So you'll always know
You're safe from harm
Wear your ruby shoes
When you're far away
So you'll always stay
Home in your heart

You will always have a lucky star
Shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
But if I could only have one wish
Then I would be this
Love and happiness for you

Here's a spinning wheel
Use it once you've learned
There's a way to turn
Straw to gold
And here's a rosary
Count on every bead
With a prayer to keep
The hope you hold

You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
But if I could only have one wish
Then it would be this
Love and happiness for you
Oh, if I could only have one wish
Then it would be this
Love and happiness for you

here's a wishing well
here's a penny for
any thought it is that makes you smile
every diamond dream
everything that brings
love & happiness to your life

here's a rabbit's foot
take it when you go
so you'll always know you're safe from harm
wear you ruby shoes
when you're far away
so you'll always stay
home in your heart

you will always have a lucky star
that shines because of what you are
even in the deepest dark
because your aim is true
but if i could only have one wish
then it would be this
love & happiness for you

here's a spinning wheel
use it once you've learned
there's a way to turn the straw to gold
here's a rosary
count on every bead
with a prayer to keep the hope you hold

I just love this song. One of the sweetest and tender songs I have ever heard. I wish love and happiness to my true love.

Edward Cole

The song was written by Emmy Lou Harris. If you want a heart felt rendition, listen to her sing it with Mark Knopfler.
I plan on playing it for my daughter at her wedding.
