| 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 triedTo 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 triedWe 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 |
