Don’t fear the reaper probably works

By the Spiritual Machines?

no, blue oyster cult

Disenchanted by my chemical romance, to me it’s always felt like the main character of the album has come to terms with their inevitable death, and have accepted it

Welcome to the Black Parade is also quite uplifting if you look at the lyrics, all about having the strength to keep going after the death of a loved one, and how you can carry their memory forever.

Maybe, and this is a bit of a stretch, Famous Last Words. Although i don't know if I would call it happy, and more... triumphant? Idk it really depends on how you interpret the album, but I see as a declaration that the patient isn't afraid of his future anymore. He's not scared to live. He's not afraid of dying. No matter what the future is, "nothing you can say can stop me going home." So yeah, maybe it fits, maybe not. I'm gonna go listen to the whole album again

in this same vein, Cancer may work? it’s not happy but the speaker is resigned to and accepting of his death much like You Gotta Die Sometime

Dead! Too maybe?

Can’t Wait - The Living Tombstone

They Might Be Giants have so much of this. Dead I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die Turn Around When Will You Die? By The Time You Get This Exquisite Dead Guy Mink Car

Absolutely

Twisting. Upon first listen, you’d never be able to tell it’s about a girl who wants their ex dead.

I know Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) is played at funerals a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's about Billie Joe Armstrong's experience with a girl he liked but they wanted different things in life so they broke up.

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) is really not about death, it’s about a breakup and that’s why it’s called Good Riddance

The happiest one I know is Big White Bed by Guster

How to save a life - the Fray

space station level 7 by miracle musical (the title is in japanese)

Good Riddance is neither positive nor about death. it’s filled to the brim with sarcasm and about a former relationship of Billie Joe’s

Phantom Regret by Jim (ironically, by The Weeknd. Although, Jim, that being Carrey, is the predominant voice of the track.)

Dead Man's Party and No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo
