You've Made Me So Very Happy -- Blood, Sweat & Tears

I lost at love before  Got mad and closed the door But you said try...just once more 
I chose you for the one  Now we're havin' so much fun You treated me so kind 
I'm about to lose my mind  You made me so...very happy I'm so glad you 
Came into my life 

The others were untrue But when it came to lovin' you I'd spend my whole life with you 
Cause you came and you took control  You touch my very soul  You always showed 
me that   Lovin' you is where it's at  You made me so...very happy  I'm so glad you
Came into my life    Thank you baby

I love you so much you see   You're even in my dreams   I can hear you 
Babe, I can hear you callin' me  I'm so in love with you  All I ever want to do is 
Thank you baby   Thank you baby 

You made me so...very happy  I'm so glad you...came into my life
You made me so...very happy  You made me so...so very happy baby
I'm so glad you came  Into-o my-y life  Mmm-mm-mmm-mmm
I wanna thank you, girl  Oh, ev'ry day of my life  I wanna thank you
You made me...so very happy  Oh, I wanna spend my life thankin' you   Thank you baby 



          
                                           

we tend to denigrate the pursuit of happiness as something shallow or superficial, akin to taking up woodcarving or scuba diving. But, as the Dalai Lama always emphasizes, happiness is not a hobby, 
nor is it a trivial pursuit. It is a fundamental drive as basic as those of sex or aggression, but not often as legitimized in our cynical, postmodern culture. In fact, Americans are waking up to the Dalai Lama's point: Materialistic comforts by themselves have not led to lasting happiness. Having reached that conclusion, however, we do not often see another way, and retreat into our comforts, barricading ourselves from what appears to be a hostile and threatening world. Acquiring and protecting, we continue to crave a happiness that seems both deserved and out of reach.

 

My experience as a psychiatrist trained in Western medicine and in thephilosophy and practice of Buddhism has given me a unique perspective. I have come to see that our problem is that we don't know what happiness is. We confuse it with a life uncluttered by feelings of anxiety, rage, doubt, and sadness. But happiness is something entirely different. It's the ability to receive the pleasant without grasping and the unpleasant without condemning.                    (From Psychology  today)
