Be Happy Lyrics by Buchan & Barne

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) [Original London Cast Recording]

2024

[Robin]
Be happy
Be happy
Close your eyes and just be happy
Feel it rising every morning
Like the sun
Feel the lightness
Feel the laughter
The rest will follow after
It's easy to be happy when you know
How it's done
[Dougal & Robin, spoken]
I didn't mean anything by it
No one means anything by it, it doesn't mean anything
[Robin, spoken]
It's a heartbeat deep inside you
It's a friend that walks beside you
Or it shines above to guide you like a star
Right?
It's a prize to keep your eyes on
And it's just on the horizon
But you'll get therе, you can get there if you know
Who you arе
So you move to the city that the songs are about
Get a job selling coffee while you figure it out
And you'll wake every morning thinking
What am I gonna be?
Be happy
That's the answer
Be the centre of attention
Be the person people mention to their friends
Be a winner
Be a dancer
Be the life of every party
Then go home and don't be lonely
When it ends
[Robin & Dougal, spoken]
If you're happy, I'm happy
That's what grandma used to tell me
So, I'd tell her I was happy and she'd smile
And since I can remember I've been happy, happy, happy
I even think I meant it for a while
What's wrong with wanting to be happy?
You're the expert, you tell me
[Robin]
Can you go there on vacation?
Like a secret destination
Do you feel the change when happiness is near?
Is it round you or behind you?
Do you find it, does it find you?
Is it somewhere you can get to in a day?
Or in a year?
So you turn 19 and you turn 21
And you fall for somebody that you shouldn't have done
And the thing you were running towards starts to run away
Be happy
You can make it
Reach your fingers out and take a perfect photograph
Of everything you do
Move towards it
Turn to face it
Spread you wings and just embrace it
The only thing that's stopping you is you
And the world keeps spinning but you stay where you are
And you turn 23 all on your own in a bar
And your smile starts fading
And you turn 25
And you start doing everything to keep it alive
Give up smoking, take up yoga, learn a language, get a boyfriend
Go to Europe, drop a dress size, look insane in a bikini
Cut out dairy, buy a blender, stay connected, change the future
Be yourself, but be a version of yourself who knows the secret
To just do it
You're worth it
Impossible is nothing
Open happiness and taste it
Let it in
Be happy
Change the ending
Just don't waste your life pretending
To be happy
When it's easy
And it's all that grandma wanted
Just be happy
And eventually your life
Will just begin
