“Life is short — enjoy it while you can. Don’t stress over fame or fortune. As long as you're happy, that’s enough.”
The tone is carefree, optimistic, and slightly philosophical, with a gentle reminder to embrace joy and let go of unnecessary burdens.
?? Title: “As Long As I’m Happy”
(Verse 1)
Sunrise doesn’t wait for me
Neither will the falling leaves
Chasing gold through endless days
Can’t outrun the time that fades
I've seen the towers, touched the sky
Tasted dreams then passed them by
But peace was never in the race
It’s in the smile on a quiet face
(Chorus)
Life is short, and time won’t stay
Why waste the light chasing gray?
Don’t need the crown, don’t want the throne
I’d rather laugh than be alone
No need for glory, rank, or gold
The richest hearts are never sold
So I let the pressure roll away—
As long as I’m happy, I’m okay
(Verse 2)
Let them fight for titles loud
I’ll walk beneath the clouds unbowed
A simple meal, a song, a friend
That’s enough from start to end
I’ve seen ambition twist the soul
Trade their joy to gain control
But what is wealth without the sun,
If you forget how to have fun?
(Chorus)
Life is short, and hearts grow tired
Burned by endless, hollow fire
I won’t be chained to “should” or “must”
I'd rather dance, I'd rather trust
No need for fame to know my worth
A single smile can change the earth
Let others chase what fades away—
As long as I’m happy, I’m okay
(Bridge)
Don’t count the coins, don’t check the score
Happiness lives in something more
In open skies and laughter’s sound
In loving who you are right now
(Final Chorus)
Life is short, don’t miss the song
Sing out loud and hum along
Take the joy, forget the rest
The heart knows what it loves the best
No medals hung, no thrones to climb
Just moments that feel warm with time
So let the world rush, I will stay—
As long as I’m happy, I’m okay
(Outro)
If today brings peace and play
Then I’ve already found my way
I don’t need much to light my day—
As long as I’m happy…
I’m okay
