Styne, Styne, Green, Comden: Do Re Mi - Make Someone Happy

The sound of applause is delicious
It’s a thrill to have the world at your feet
The praise of the crowd, it’s exciting
But I’ve learned that’s not what makes a life complete
There’s one thing you can do for the rest of your days
That’s worth more than applause
The screaming crowd, the bouquets…
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make just one heart the heart you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
One man you’re everything to
Fame if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where’s the real stuff in life to cling to
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you’ve found him, build your world around him
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy, too
