Happy Talk Lyrics by Daniel Johnston

It’s Spooky

Rolling?

Happy
Oh, keep talking happy talk
Talking about the things you like to do
You gotta have a dream
Cause if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a moon
Floating in the sky
Looking like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird
Learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make

Happy
Oh, keep talking happy talk
Talking about the things you like to do
You gotta have a dream
Cause if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a star
Looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree
Talk about a girl
Talk about a boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea

Happy
Oh, keep talking happy talk
Talking about the things you like to do
You gotta have a dream
Cause if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a boy
Saying to the girl
Golly baby, I'm a lucky cause
Talk about a girl
Saying to that boy
You and me are as lucky to be us

Happy
Oh, keep talking happy talk
Talking about the things you like to do
You gotta have a dream
Cause if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Happy
Keep talking happy talk
