It's a wonderful feeling when we make someone happy.
This lovely popular song "Make Someone Happy" is introduced in the musical Do Re Mi with with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and a book by Garson Kanin, who also directed the original 1960 Broadway production. The plot is about a minor-league con man who decides to go straight by going into the business of juke boxes and music promotion.
Below, the song is beautifully interpreted by Monica Ramey, singer, and Beegie Adair, pianist. I first heard this beautiful song sung by Jimmy Durante in the film "Sleepless in Seattle."

Make Someone Happy lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc
It's so important to make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you're ev'rything to.
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you're ev'rything to.
Fame if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her, build your world around her.
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her, build your world around her.
Make someone happy, make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too.
And you will be happy, too.
