Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed 
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold 
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed 
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide 
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love

Happiness is a field of grain 
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain 
Happiness everywhere

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed 
With more than my share of happiness

A wise old man told me one time 
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed 
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed 
With more than my share of happiness
