Life is a pleasure that you can measure And hear what the birds have to say. I heard a bluebird passin' the good word: Ain't this a wonderful day? While I was dreamin' in the shade of a tree, And list'ning to their song, I understood and I put it in words, And you can help to pass it along. Look on the bright side 'cause it's the right side. Stay in the sun while you may. I heard a bluebird passin' the good word: Ain't this a wonderful day?
