Fortunately (Show Tune)

1^st.

Fortunately, the sun is shining in the clear blue sky;

fortunately, flowers bloom everywhere.

Fortunately the birds all sing as they go flapping by;

fortunately the breeze blows through my hair.

Fortunately, the world is full of music and romance;

beautiful things to lift my spirits high.

Fortunately, I have two feet and they know how to dance;

two wings upon my heart so it can fly.

Chorus:

There are so many reasons for happiness

with which I am blessed

so why be depressed?

There are so many things for which I feel glad

life is not so bad,

why should I feel sad?

2^nd.

Fortunately, I have someone I love right by my side.

Fortunately, they happen to love me.

Fortunately, though were not rich, we manage to get by

and we live together very happily.

Fortunately, I’m young and I have my whole life ahead;

so many golden opportunities

and even when I am old and have grey hairs upon my head

I’ll have someone to love and comfort me.

Chorus:

There are so many reasons for happiness

with which I am blessed

so why be depressed?

There are so many things for which I feel glad

life is not so bad,

why should I feel sad?
