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 ok but you’d keep it inside
And I tried
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I never thought I could have it so good
You were the song that my soul understood
But time is a river that flows through the woods
And it led us to place we both understood
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
Joy, it’s you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
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
[Verse 1] 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 ok but you’d keep it inside And I tried [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I never thought I could have it so good You were the song that my soul understood But time is a river that flows through the woods And it led us to place we both understood 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 Joy, it’s you [Chorus] [Outro] 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 Explain Request ×
