Tomorrow, we will have a "Treat of the Week" which is sure to bring a smile to your face, but, for today, I thought, we'd "spread a little happiness" a different way.
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
I've got a creed for every need
So easy that it must succeed
I'll set it down for you to read
So please, take heed
Keep out the gloom
Let in the sun
That's my advice for everyone
It's only once we pass this way
So day by day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try
What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day
Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Spread a Little Happiness was written by English composer Vivian Ellis for his 1929 musical Mr. Cinders—based on the story of Cinderella. Ellis, known for his musical comedy, is said to have been suffering from a fever of 103 degrees (Fahrenheit) when he wrote this song.
In the original production of Mr. Cinders, the song was sung by Bobby Howes as Jim, but Binnie Hale—pictured here—was celebrated for her recording of the piece. Sting famously covered the song in the 1980s.
