Don't be sad
Just think about all the fun you had
Think of all the times you laughed
And all of this will pass
'Cause when you're sad
Your eyes keep fillin' up with tears
And you can't see those better years
Ahead of you

No one can imagine something bad is gonna happen
It just wakes us from our most delightful dreams
Yeah, everything was fine until you stopped to look behind you
Now you're wishin' you could build a time machine
You're wrong

I just decided to be
I just decided to be
I just decided to be happy
I just decided to be
I just decided to be
I just decided to be happy

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)

You're lookin' back
At how you spent the time you had
Remembering the good, the bad
It all went by so fast, so fast
But you can't go back
Regretting all the moves you made
'Cause everybody makes mistakes
And some are for the best

It doesn't really help to hear somebody start to tell you that they're sorry
But it's nice to know they care
And I know it's not the time or the right place for you to smile
Some might say you ought to stop and say a prayer
Go on

But I just decided to be
I just decided to be
I just decided to be happy
I just decided to be
I just decided to be
I just decided to be happy

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)
Are you with me? (Are you with me?)

I just decided to be
I just decided to be
I just decided to be happy
I just decided to be (are you with me?)
I just decided to be (are you with me?)
I just decided to be happy (are you with me?)
