I live on an island
And never see the sea
The people round here
They walk taller than trees
Everybody but me
Even on my best day
Take a train to the coffeeshop
Past the bodegas
And fresh flower crops
Sitting at the window
Watching how the world flows
All these thoughts
Are falling down like raindrops
These are homemade not store-bought
Little happy thoughts for you
Every night the lights keep shining
Underground the people sliding
Deep into the city caves
Underneath the river waves
The star's in the sky
And the moon's there too
A satellite blinking
A plane or two
What's a boy to do?
Want the sea and the sky
In a two-tone blue
All these thoughts
Are falling down like raindrops
These are homemade not store-bought
Little happy thoughts for you
Can't go on while looking back
Can't get strong if you are
Slack in the stays, while the wind blows
I know, I know, I know
Wherever you are
Whatever you do
You know that I'm sitting
And thinking about you
Hoping you are well, dear
Wishing you were here, dear
All these thoughts
Are falling down like raindrops
These are homemade not store-bought
Little happy thoughts
All these thoughts
Are falling down like raindrops
These are homemade not store-bought
Little happy thoughts for you
