"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!"

Came across these YouTube videos from a friend's blog... oh gosh! The songs are simply lovely... and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"? Oh man! I remember watching it on a holiday so long ago... I think was it 1986 or 87? Miss it lots... they simply don't make children's videos like they used to... even Transformers the Movie was cool... with quoteworthy sound-bites. :) "Such heroic nonsense!"

Opening to "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!"

[CHARLIE BROWN (overlapping)]
Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise, and
I think how beautiful it is, and how my life lies
before me, and I get a very positive feeling about
things. Like this morning for instance; the sky's
so clear and the sun's so bright. How can anything
go wrong on a day like this?

I'm late!

[SNOOPY]
Woof!

[ALL (except Charlie Brown)]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're the kind of reminder we need
You have humility, nobility and a sense of honor that is very
Rare indeed.

[SNOOPY]
Woof!

[OTHERS]
You're a good man, CHarlie Brown
And we know you will go very far

Yes it's hard to believe
Almost frightening to conceive
What a good man you are.

[SCHROEDER]
You are kind.

[OTHERS]
You are kind to all the animals
And every little bird
With a heart of gold
You believe what you're told...

[LUCY]
Every single solitary word

[OTHERS]
You bravely face adversity
You're cheerful through the day
You're thoughtful
Brave and couteous

[LUCY]
And you also have some faults
But for the moment let's just say

[OTHERS]
That you're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're a prince
And a prince could be king
With a heart such as yours
You could open any doors
You could go out and do anything
You could be King Charlie Brown
You could be king!

"Happiness" from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!"

I love the opening bars... and this song is very meaningful. :) It made me smile deep inside... yeah :) I think that's the sweet beauty of a simple childlike faith... to know that no matter how mundane or sad or disappointing or dreadful life can ever be... this is the day that the Lord has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it. :)
