Lyric entry:
NOT I
Some say that happiness is just a memory
The way we used to feel in days gone by
Some say that we won't ever be so carefree
But not I. Not I.
I say that happiness is right beside us
It's here and now we shouldn't look too far
With family and gentle friends to guide us
And people who accept us as we are.
Some say that we were better off in times of yesterday
But I can't live in memories. That's just not my way.
Some speak of happiness as days gone by,
But not I. Not I

Some say that happiness is in the future.
In five years they'll be where they want to be.
They say when they have money they'll be happy.
But not me. Not me.
I say that life's a garden full of flowers
That bloom at different times along the way.
Some aspect of your life blooms every hour.
Enjoy it now before it fades away.
Some talk about the future and they make it sound so grand.
But I'd just rather be right here. I'm happy where I am.
Some say the future's where they want to be.
But not me. Not me.
Some say that happiness belongs to others
And its too late for them to even try
And some would deny we're sisters and we're brothers
But not I. Not I.
Not I. Not I.
