Thomas, B.J. - Happy Man Lyrics






When I die there won't be much
To salvage from my earnings
I never had a lot of land or houses to my name
I've never been a corporate prince
On Madison and New York
I never held a diamond in my hand

But I've seen children laughing
As only children can
And I've known my Creator
And I've been a happy man

I never really loved the way I saw it in the movies
But I had myself a woman of my own
The place we lived was modest
And we kept the yard together
I never traveled far from my hometown

But I've heard music playing
That made me understand
And touched the hearts of heaven
And I've been a happy man

Life has had it's hard times
When I've felt the chill of winter
I can't forget the night
When my sweet Julie slipped away

But growing old is different
Than I always thought it would be
The sweetness of my youth
Just grew with age

'Cause I've known wealth and beauty
Beneath His guiding hand
And knowing soon I'll see Him
Has made me a happy man
And knowing soon I'll see Him
Has made me a happy man

    @Sérgio Melo mas sabemos que todas as coisas cooperam para o bem, fique tranquilo, Deus ainda nos permitirá reaver e viver tempos melhores.

  10. S.... N....

    I lost my brother a year ago. I would like to think he had this overall sentiment, that, at the end of the day, though he may not have realized all he wanted, he realized all he needed in his short life - that he was...a happy man

  11. M.... H....

    God has a sense of humor. He led me to an amusement park in the early 80's. I absolutely had to go that day and nothing was going to stop me. Then I noticed BJ Thomas was playing and as I was standing in line, I remembered he became a christian. That concert and that day at the amusement park was a blessing, and a change in my very troubling circumstances. I will never forget it.

  12. M.... A....

    I love BJ Thomas music so deep, it's my beginig on studying English and I sang a lot of his muisic when I was a young man in a Gospel Church in Brasil...

    Depois soube que ele se converteu após quase ter morrido com cancer, mas através do testemunho do enfermeiro dele , BJ creu em JC e foi curado e hoje vive para louvar a Deus!! Amo este louvor e "His the hand on my shoulder" e todas deste dicsco. Esta história abaixo aconteceu nos idos de 1990. Paz!

  23. E.... B....

    Lembro-me que um dia, arrumando os discos em casa, olhei por bom tempo a foto de um cantor com olhar distante e triste, e pensei "Puxa! Parece infeliz!" Ele fez sucesso aqui no Brasil com a musica Rock and Roll Lullaby. No dia seguinte, quando entro numa livraria cristã a primeira coisa que vejo é um lindo sorriso de um homem. Este, da capa acima! E pensei: "Puxa que sorriso lindo!" Então li na capa: "Happy man" e o nome do cantor: B.J. Thomas... o mesmo da foto do dia anterior! Comprei este

  24. S.... A....

    Nossa, canções que marcaram minha infância....temos esse LP até hoje....não cansava de ouvir...

  25. N.... ....

    Great song... does anyone know who Julie was?

    N.... ....

    His wife I suppose

  26. p.... ....

    @meloperroud God Bless you Forever. I use to have this Beautiful Album. I haven't heard these Amazing Songs in years. They have always brought me to Tears of how much Love I Feel whenever I hear them.

    p.... ....

    That my song

    p.... ....

    I NERVER BE ALLWAYS HAPPY BUT I LIKE THIS SONG.

  27. D.... G....

    Knowing the true gift life really is and accepting the responsibilities which come with life makes me a happy person. If our goal is to be more like Jessus then know the responsibility that comes with this wish. We have created the world we live in today by virtue of the free will God gave us. We are responsible for what we have done and we will all be held to account even if all we did was allow evil to flourish. The only way evil can flourish is when good people stand by and do nothing.
