We Could Still Be Happy

If the rain no longer fell and the flowers wasted to the ground If the stars no longer shone and the breeze died down You and I we could still be happy If the writers lost their words and the blue fell from the sky And the dreamers lost their nerve and the seas went dry You and I we could still be happy If the world forgot to turn around again and the winter never knew to change to spring And the birds forgot to sing We could still be happy If I lost my memory and forgot my name If the road that led back home could not be found again If the fires burned out and we could not stay warm If the world forgot to turn around again and the winter never knew to change to spring And the birds forgot to sing We could still be happy The fallen rain may wash our home away But we remain protected just the same Always We won’t want for anything If the world forgot to turn around again and the winter never knew to change to spring It wouldn’t mean a thing We could still be happy If the clock stopped telling time If the money all ran out We could still be happy If the clock stopped telling time If the money all ran out We could still be happy
