There`s a man sittin` down by the 405
Hittin` some kind of tune on his ravin` guitar
He seems stranded in a dessert of a million dreams
Just like life hasn`t been exactly as nice as it seems
Hello ! How are you ?
Why are you looking so sad on a day like this ?
Do you feel like talking ?
Now you got me started
I wanna see a smile on your clueless face - Yeah Yeah
You could be so happy - on this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy like kids gettin` ready to play
Come on and bring it on, on and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along and don`t drag it on
You can be so happy
You say your girlfriend is pretty yeah
She`s waiting at home
Got a safe job
And you can call a little house and a chevy your own
It all seems perfect but ain`t perfect just as boring as hell You`ve been craving for this
And now you`re stuck just like a snail in its shell
All that matters is that you can
be free to live your life the way you sincerely feel it
Cause life`s too short
You don`t wanna be a prisoner
of your own illusions
And I shout it out:
You could be so happy - yeah you got somebody to love
You could be so happy - ain`t that good enough
Ain`t no use to sit and drag it on, thinking `bout the mess
you`ve done - nothing`s wrong, just bring it on
You could be so happy
