ONLY GOOD THINGS
Only Good Things
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
I met a man when I was young
He said these words to me
If you focus on the positive
Much happier you’ll be
If you see the glass half empty
And exude that energy
It will make your life much harder
That’s not the way you want to be
Bad things will surely happen
It’s a thing we can’t control
But don’t let them overwhelm you
It will rob you of your soul
Focus on the positive
Now and your whole life through
If you focus on the positive
Good things will come to you
Focus on the positive
Your dreams will all come true
If you focus on the positive
It can happen to you too
These were the most important words
One ever said to me
These words became my mantra
My self-fulfilling prophecy
I’ve carried these words with me
Every day my whole life through
A life lesson for the ages
I now share these words with you
Focus on the positive
Your dreams will all come true
If you focus on the positive
It can happen to you too
I wish you only good things
Now and your whole life through
Focus on the positive
And good things will come to you
