Happy Livin’, Wonder Lovin’ Child © Tom Shindler 1975
- Today I’ll sing my song to the river flowin’ by,
Tonight I’ll play a tune to the stars up in the sky
Tomorrow I will wander to a place I’ve ever been
And wonder how my journey will begin,
And wonder how my journey will begin. - Yesterday the song I sang became a memory.
Today I sang my song again to bring it back to me
Tomorrow, when I play the tune, I’ll find the harmony
And life will pass into a melody…
And life will pass into a melody.
(Chorus) Sometimes I swear that the touch or life is hard
Sometimes I know its touch is mild
I tell you either way, I know I’m gonna stay
A happy livin’, wonder lovin’ child…
A happy livin’, wonder lovin’ child
- Sometimes I will walk alone beneath the tallest trees
Or stand up on a mountain top, and let my hair blow in the breeze
And sometimes when I’m with my friends, we’ll gather all around,
And sing of all the wonders we have found…
And sing of all the wonders we have found. - They say the years go by, and that someday I’ll grow old
They say, just like the rest of them, my dreams will all grow cold.
Till then I’ll face the mornin’ sun and sing a wandering song.
When sunset comes, I’ll be where I belong…
When sunset comes, I’ll be where I belong
(Chorus) Some people say that the touch or life is hard
Some people say its touch is mild
I tell you either way, I know I’m gonna stay
A happy livin’, wonder lovin’ child…
A happy livin’, wonder lovin’ child
Oh yeah, I’m a happy livin’, wonder lovin’ child.
