I'm in an ensemble for my school play and singing in harmony along with this song made me cry so badly, but I hid it with a smile. Who cares when those tears are tears of joy? :)
I'm playing Linus in my school's production of this show. I'm so excited for my first lead role! Other than "My Blanket and Me," this is my favorite song!
Well, my school isn't doing this play, but we sang this song in chorus a couple years ago... Actually, it was slightly different-- some of the lyrics were different: "Happiness is learning to whistle, finding your skate key, telling the time" or something. Our music teacher said people actually went out in, like, ,the 80's or something and asked kids what made them happy-- really young to teenagers. I could never remember the lyrics, so I looked them up. It's such a wonderful song... :)
I played Snoopy! This year :) Roger Bart is now my hero...and now I cry when I hear tese songs...flashbacks of the show... *sniffs* darn I loved his show :)! <3
My school is doing this play. I got Linus, which brings me great excitement, for I am quite like he is. The more I learn about this play, the more excited I get.
I'm Sally!!! This is definatley one of my fave songs throughtout the whole play. The day I auditioned I was sick and I knew for sure I wasn't going to get the part I was going to get Marcie or soemthing. But I got Sally!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!! I love my new philosophy!!! It's such a fun song to sing!!
I fully agree w/ElphieWitch:"i love how it embodies the thought process of a child.. " It's so true. I have realized that the older you get,it is harder for yourself to be truly happy.
this song is in our play "Forever and Always... impossibly sweet! I love singing it, especially my solo parts... "Happiness is finding a pencil...." ♥
i love how it embodies the thought process of a child.. it takes so little to make them happy.. "happiness is playing the drum in your own school band" i mean, come on.. it doesn't get much better then that.
Thank you so much for adding this. My school is doing this play & it is a great help to have it to practice with.Auditions Monday wish me luck.
