Audra McDonald Make Someone Happy song lyrics

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

Someone you're ev'rything 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 them, build your world around them

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

Someone you're ev'rything 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 them, build your world around them

Make someone happy

Make just one someone happy

And you will be happy too
