	You can't teach unhappy people to lighten up. But you can write a song about it to vent...so you aren't infected by their dark demeanor.

	Lyrics Half-Empty Glasses She’s just standing there Out-of-sorts in mock despair Catatonic in the parking lot “Get in the car let’s go!” She moans and mutters blue As she stirs her bitter inner stew And rubs her eyes so she can see Beneath the undertow Half-empty glasses You can’t see it otherwise When you’re staring at your shoes You’ll never see how others rise Half-empty glasses You don’t know another way Try to keep your frown inside You’re darkening my day She said “those people are too happy, Makes me wonder what they’re on” I laughed at her in disbelief Such a cynic, such a pawn She sizes up the masses On the sidewalks of downtown And as I drive she volunteers Insights she thinks profound Half-empty glasses You can’t see it otherwise When you’re staring at your shoes You’ll never see how others rise Half-empty glasses You don’t know another way Try to keep your frown inside Quit darkening my day Too happy I can’t be While gloom n’ doom sit next to me Why don’t you give your scowl a break And shake your dormant hope awake I’ve tried to make you smile Resorted to the juvenile But I can’t reach you while You manufacture misery I’ve tried to understand your plight To view you in a different light To help you purge your heart of spite But we jut disagree
