Joy & Pain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Remember when you first found love how you felt so good
The kind that lasts forever more so you thought it would
Suddenly the things you see has got you hurtin' so bad, so bad
How come the things that make us happy make us sad
Oh, it seems to me that
(Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain)
Oooh, it seems to me that
(Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain)
Love can be bitter, love can be sweet
And sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh, but it's alright, they're both one in the same
(Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain)
(Joy) and pain (and pain) are like sunshine and rain
Don't it seem we go through life going up and down
Seems the things that turn you on, turn you around
Always hurting each other, if it ain't one thing it's another
But when the world is down on you love's somewhere around
But I want you to know that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
(Joy)
(Joy)
(And pain)
(And pain)
(Joy and pain)
(Joy and pain)
(Joy and pain)
Over and over you can be sure
There will be sorrow but you will endure
Where there's a flower there's the sun and the rain
Oh, and it's wonderful, they're both one in the, the same
(Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain)
Joy, oh, and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
