Make Someone Happy
Discovering Life's True Applause Through Nancy Wilson's Melody
Lyrics
The sound of applause is delicious
The applause from the audience is enjoyable and satisfying.
It's a thrill to have the world at your feet
Experiencing the world admiring you is exhilarating.
The praise of the crowd, it's exciting
The admiration and approval of the crowd are thrilling.
But I've learned that's not what makes a life complete
Realizing that life's completeness is not solely defined by external praise.
There's one thing you can do for the rest of your days
There's a valuable action that can bring fulfillment throughout life.
That's worth more than applause
This action is more valuable than receiving applause.
The screaming crowd, the bouquets
Regardless of the loud applause and flower bouquets from an audience.
Make someone happy
The key action is to make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
Focusing on making at least one person happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to
Choosing one heart to be the center of your affection and song.
One smile that cheers you
Creating a smile that brings joy to yourself.
One face that lights when it nears you
Seeing the happiness in someone's face when they are close to you.
One man you're ev'rything to
Being everything to one special person.
Fame if you win it
Fame, even if achieved, is transient and fleeting.
Comes and goes in a minute
It comes and goes quickly.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to
Questioning the true substance in life to hold onto.
Love is the answer
Love is presented as the ultimate answer.
Someone to love is the answer
Emphasizing that having someone to love is the solution.
Once you've found him, build your world around him
Once found, building your entire world around the person you love.
Make someone happy
Reiterating the importance of making someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
The happiness derived from making even just one person happy.
And you will be happy, too
Concluding that by making someone happy, you, too, will experience happiness.
