Laughing Matters
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it mine
Laughing is what matters as I rise and shine
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it live
Laughing is what matters as I gain and give
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it nice
Laughing is what matters as I zing and spice
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it real
Laughing is what matters as I know and feel
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it true
Laughing is what matters as I fuss and stew
Nothing truly matters
unless I make it so
Laughing is what matters as I come and go
