Make Someone Happy
Trudy Desmond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make just one heart the heart you sing to

One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it's near you
One gal you're everything to
Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?

Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found her
Build your world around her

Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too

Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?

Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found her
Build your world around her

Make someone happy




Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too
