Song Lyrics

There's a man sitting down by the 405
Hitting some kind of tune on his raving guitar
He seems stranded in a desert of a million dreams
Just like life hasn't been exactly as nice as it seems

Hello; how are you?
Why are you looking so sad on a day like this?
Do you feel like talking?
Now you got me started
I want to see a smile upon your clueless face

You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
Like kids getting ready to play
Come on and bring it on, on and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along and don't drag it on
You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day

You say your girlfriend is pretty
She's waiting at home
Got a safe job
And you can call a little house and Chevy your own
It all seems perfect but ain't perfect just as boring as hell
You've been craving for this
And now you're stuck just like a snail in it's shell

All that matters is that you can be free to live your
Life the way you sincerely feel it
Cause life's too short
You don't want to be a prisoner of your own illusions
And I shout it out

You could be so happy
You got somebody to love
You could be so happy
Ain't that good enough
Ain't no use to sit and drag it on,
Thinking about the mess you've done
Nothing's wrong, just bring it on
You could be so happy, you got somebody to love

Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na

You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
Like kids getting ready to play
Come on and bring it on, on and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along and come bring it on

You could be so happy
Ain't that good enough
Ain't no use to sit and drag it on,
Think about the mess you've done
Nothing's wrong, just bring it on
You could be so happy
You got somebody to love

I see a man sittin' down by the 405
Got a smile on his face thinking "What a wonderful life"
