Joy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes

She has silver silk shimmerin' down to her toes

I was doin' 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

But 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

And 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
