There's a man sitting down by the 405

Hitting some kind of tune on his raving guitar

He seems stranded in a desert of a million dreams

Just like life hasn't been exactly as nice as it seems



Hello! How are you?

Why are you looking so sad on a day like this?

Do you feel like talking?

Now you got me started



I wanna see a smile upon your clueless face - Yeah Yeah

You could be so happy on this brand new beautiful day

You could be so happy like kids getting ready to play

Come on and bring it on, on and on

Nothing that you do is wrong

Come along and don't drag it on

You could be so happy



You say your girlfriend is pretty - Yeah

She's waiting at home

Got a safe job

And you can call a little house and a chevy your own

It all seems perfect but ain't perfect just as boring as hell

You've been craving for this

And now you're stuck just like a snail in it's shell



All that matters is that you can

be free to live your life the way you sincerely feel it

Cause life's too short

You don't wanna be a prisoner

of your own illusions

And I shout it out



You could be so happy - yeah you got somebody to love

You could be so happy - Ain't that good enough

Ain't no use to sit and drag it on, thinking 'bout the mess

you've done - Nothing's wrong, just bring it on

You could be so happy, you got somebody to love

You could be so happy - on this brand new beautiful day

You could be so happy - like kids getting ready to play

Come on and bring it on, on and on

Nothing that you do is wrong

Come along and come bring it on



You could be so happy - ain't that good enough

Ain't no use to sit and drag it on, think 'bout the mess you've done

Nothing's wrong, just bring it on

You could be so happy - you got somebody to love

Got a smile on his face - Thinking: 'What a wonderful life
