Audra McDonald
Make Someone Happy
The sound of applause is delicious
It's a thrill to have the world at your feet
The praise of the crowd is exciting
But I've learned that is not what makes a life complete
This one thing you can do for the rest of your days
That's worth more than applause
The screaming crowd, the bouquets
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make just one heart the heart you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
Someone you're everything to
Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life you cling to?
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found them
Build your world around them
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make just one heart the heart you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
Someone you're everything to
Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life you cling to?
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found them
Build your world around them
Make someone happy
And you will be happy, too
