Poetry & Lyrics :: Lyrics by Peter Falkenberg Brown

Happy Day

a song for children

by Peter Falkenberg Brown, December 9, 1980

I went running through the field,
Chasing after breezes that I knew I couldn't catch.
The cows that grazed there watched me,
Wondering what made me act like that.
I didn't have a reason - I really couldn't say,
I only knew how glad I was for such a happy day!

Happy day! O bright new happy day!
Your sunlight dashes through the leaves
In such a merry way.
It makes me want to laugh and shout,
And dance in fresh sweet clover,
And bring to people everywhere the warmth of such a day!

Like a chipmunk in the sun,
Basking on a mossy rock with a smile on his face,
I let my cares slip from me,
And challenged the rabbits to a race.
The silly creatures beat me, but not to my dismay,
It didn't change the joy I felt from such a happy day!

Happy day! O bright new happy day!
Your sunlight dashes through the leaves
In such a merry way.
It makes me want to laugh and shout,
And dance in fresh sweet clover,
And bring to people everywhere the warmth of such a day!
