I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
It’s not easy for me to write happy songs
It’s not that I always mourn but I’m just not the happy-song-singer one
A sad song can touch your heart
A sad song can heal your love
A sad song can make you happy
A sad song can carry out all sicknesses
And bring back to your lips another smile
I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
Don’t know if it’s got to do with my skills
But the chords in minor
They rather reveal how I feel
A sad song can touch your heart
A sad song can heal your love
A sad song can make you happy
A sad song can carry out all sicknesses
And bring back to your lips another smile
I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
Somebody said a long time ago:
What’s the use when you cry
and nobody knows?
So sing as loud as you can
