Let My Love Open The Door

When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let them bring you down
Love can cure your problem
You're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door

Let My Love Open The Door
Pete Townshend

Of all the "happy" songs that I go back to when I need a "happy song", this one is one of my favorites!

Into The Mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun

Smell the sea and see the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly...

Into the Mystic
Van Morrison

Let your soul and spirit fly...

You Don't Know Me

Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)

You Don't Know Me

I'll Take My Chances

I take my chances;
yes, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt
I take my chances;
I take my chances every chance I get

I've crossed lines of words and wire,
and both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and I've been on fire,
and the tears are mine to weep
But I can cry until I laugh, or laugh until I cry
So cut the deck right in half,
I'll play from either side

I'll Take My Chances
Mary Chapin Carpenter

Forgiveness doesn't come with a debt

True Colours

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
shining through 
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

True Colours
Cyndi Lauper

Can't pick a line - or a verse - I just love it - every word.

Raggedy Ann

So when did I get so broken?
I wouldn't notice...
Everything just breaks away from me.
Hey! When did I get so broken?
I wouldn't notice...
Everything important leaving me.

Melissa

Crossroads
Seem to come and go, yeah
The gypsy flies
From coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none
Bearing sorrow, havin' fun
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa

"Melissa"
Steve Alaimo, Greg Allman

Silver Springs

So I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago
And tell myself you never loved me... No...

Time cast a spell on you
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

"Silver Springs"
Steve Nicks
