Dont Need Much To Make Me Happy

Don’t need much to be happy     Four walls and a roof overhead Books and food in my belly      Cool sheets upon the bed        A fire that warms up December   The sound of a thaw in the eaves Sometimes it’s hard to remember How tough we are to please      All in good time Somehow I find Days that still shine with light All in good stead I’m safe and I’m fed With dreams in my head good night The feel of my hand being taken Driving at night all alone      The breeze on a warm summer evening And coming home                 All in good time Somehow you find Days that still shine with light All in good stead You’re safe and you’re fed With dreams in your head good night Don’t need much to be happy     A friend to soften a fall       And something to show for my labors After all I had to learn to be grateful I had to learn how to see       Mistakes that might have proved fatal Are gifts I now receive
