Joy

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes

She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes

I was doing the best that I can, I suppose

But that little girl dancer eventually grows, she grows

You can't imagine all the times that I tried

To uncover the source of the tears that you cried

Let's throw it away and just go for a ride

And you'd say okay but you'd keep it inside

And I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried

We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy, come step outside your room

We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too

I never thought I could have it so good

You were the song that my soul understood

That time is a river that flows through the woods

And it led us to places we both understood

Would be gone before too long, would be gone before too long

When we were young we thought life was a game

But then somebody leaves you and you're never the same

All of the places and people belong to the puzzle

But one of the pieces is gone and it's you

It's you, it's you, Joy, it's you

We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy, come step outside your room

We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too

In time we'll weather this storm inside together

You'll see the change when the sun shines through

We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy, come step outside your room

We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too

This is your song too, this is your song too

This is your song too, this is your song too

This is your song too
