This Might Be Happiness (2019)

From Inside and Out.
I've written one song with lyrics in my lifetime -- for my daughter's wedding. It took me six months to write it, because the lyrics and rhymes always sounded corny to my ears. I'm not a songwriter.
But Ted -- who wrote his first song at age 57 -- is a great songwriter. I think of him as a modern-day Schubert, who carefully balances his poetic lyrics with a sophisticated piano accompaniment, which occasionally becomes a solo part.
This is a touching song and should appeal to any of us who sometimes wonder "whether or not we are happy."
