Lyrics

1. I’ve said goodbye to “Mister Sorrow”
   How do you do “Mister Joy”
   No need to worry ’bout tomorrow
   Look at me, and you’ll see
   A soul as happy as can be
   Because I’m

Chorus:
Looking at the world thru rose colored glasses
Everything is rosy now
Looking at the world and everything that passes
Seems of rosy hue some how
Why do I, feel so spry
Don’t wink your eye
Needn’t guess, I’ll confess
Certain someone just said yes
In a bungalow all covered with roses
I will settle down I vow
That’s why I’m looking at the world
Thru rose colored glasses
And everything is rosy now

2. Others may cry but I’ll be smiling
   No cause to worry or fret
   While for them troubles may be piling
   Here is one who’ll have fun
   ‘Cause after all is said and done
   You see I’m
