The blue bird of happiness on my windowsill did sit Singing me songs of sweet regret But he doesn't know what it feels like to be blue He's always happy, but slightly subdued He only greets the sunshine He's never tasted pain like mine
The blue bird of happiness hides from the rain He can pretend it never came We are quite different that bird and I For I will never be allowed to touch the sky The rain is my redemption While the sun is he's deception For happiness I know is just an illusion He is lost in the confusion
