From the recording Out in the Country
A gesture to those who might need a periodic reminder that there is much for which to be thankful.
Lyrics
In a dark and lonely room, I’ve looked back at me
A frown for no good, how foolish could I be?
Well I’ve got it good, I really have it made
I just need reunited every few days…
I put on my happy cap and the blues roll away
The weight on the brain waves weariness away
You just find a simple thing you can wear or you can see
To remind you in the time you really feel the need
To throw away the bad, and bring in all the good
And maybe show another to see it as they should
(Repeat Chorus)
Had a bad day?
It’s all in how you view it
Well, I’ve got a way to get on through it
He might have his happy shirt
She might have her happy shoes, well
I have my happy cap, a shelter from the blues
Well, we’ve all got it good
We really have it made
We just need reunited
Every few days…put on that happy cap!
We may not be in our happy place
We may not see that happy face
But we can all have that little thing
To remind us of and give us grace
