Laughter merry and sweet
Rings out across the mountains
And valleys
Hills and dales
Laughter merry and sweet
Chimes out across the oceans
And blue-green seas
Laughter merry and sweet
Does the heart good
And is a medicine for pain
If you still aren't happy
Crack a joke or two
And then see if you're not laughing
Along with me too
Giggles are like music
Sometimes good, sometimes bad
When done in moderation
It's the perfect pill
For heartache, depression,
Loneliness, fear, and pain
Laughter merry and sweet
Rings out across the earth
Like bells chiming
And tinkling
In a shady forest
