Think happy thoughtsA
Think sunshine all the dayB
Refuse to let the trifling worries stayB
Crowd them with thoughts of laughter from your mindC
Think of the good forget the bad you findC
Think of the sun behind the clouds the blueD
And not the gray skies that you viewD
Think of the kindness not the meanness shownE
The true friends not the false ones you have knownE
The joy and not the hatred of the strifeF
The sweetness not the bitterness of lifeF
Think happy thoughtsA
-
Think happy thoughtsA
Think always of the bestG
Think of the ones you love not those that you detestG
Think of your victories and not your failures hereH
The smile that pleased and not the hurtful sneerI
The kindly word and not the harsh word spokenJ
The promise kept and not the promise brokenJ
The good that you have known and not the badK
The happy days that were and not the sadK
Think of the rose and not the withered flowerL
The beauty of the rainbow not the showerL
Think happy thoughtsA
-
Think happy thoughtsA
This is true happinessM
That life is sad that feeds on its distressN
That mind is gloomy that subsists on gloomO
And is as dismal as a curtained roomO
Where daily comes the sunshine but to findC
It cannot enter through the close drawn blindC
Fling up the curtains of your mind todayB
And let the morning sunshine in to playB
Dwell on the joys and not the sorrows hereH
Master your thoughts and you have mastered fearI
Think happy thoughtsA
