Happy Man – B. J. Thomas – letras

When I die there won´t be muchTo salvage from my earning,I´ve never had a lot of land or houses to my name.I´ve never been a corporate prince on Madison in New YorkI´ve never held a dimond in my handBut I´ve seen children laughingAs only children can,And I´ve known my Creator;And I´ve been a Happy Man.I never really loved the wayI saw it in the moviesBut I had myself a woman of my own.The place we lived was modestAnd we kept the yard together.I never travelled far from my home townBut I´ve heard music playing that made me understand;And I´ve been a Happy ManLife has had its hard times whenI felt the chill of winterI can´t forgert the night whenMy sweet Julie slipped away.But growing old was different thanI always thought it would beThe sweetness of my youth just grew with age`cause I´ve known wealth and beautyBeneath his guiding hand;And knowing soon I´ll see Him has made me a Happy Man (bis)1976 by Pat Terry
