A letter to my future self

Am I still happy? I began

Have I grown up pretty?

Is Daddy still a good man?

Am I still friends with Colleen?

I'm sure that I'm still laughing

Aren't I?

Aren't I?



Hey there to my future self

If you forget how to smile

I have this to tell you

Remember it once in a while

Ten years ago your past self

prayed for your happiness

Please don't lose hope



Oh, oh what a pair, me and you

Put here to feel joy, not be blue

Sad times and bad times--see them through

Soon we will know if it's for real

what we both feel



(Spoken:)

Though I can't know for sure how things worked out for us,

no matter how hard it gets, you have to realize

we weren't put on this earth to suffer and cry

We were made for being happy

So be happy--for me, for you

Please



(Sung:)

Oh, oh what a pair, me and you

Put here to feel joy, not be blue

Sad times and bad times--see them through

Soon we will know if it's for real

what we both feel



We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy

We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy

We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy

We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy
