My son wrote:
"You can’t buy happiness, but you can rent it". Then another friend said :Can't the same be said about love? Someone should write a song about that". And this happened:


You can't buy happiness, but you can rent it
You can't buy love but you can spend it
.And all the kings horses and all of the kings
Know that to keep her it'll cost you a ring

You can't find what you're not looking for
Climb out the window instead of the door
And all the Queens on horses and all of the kings
Stumble and fumble, sleep without dreams



Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching...
