  • 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
    Well 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
    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 lead us to places we both understood
    Would be gone
    Before to long
    Would be gone
    Before to long

    When we were young we thought life was a game
    But then somebody leaves you and your 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

    Anytime 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
    This is your song too
    This is your song too
    This is your song too Writer/s: TOM MARSHALL, TREY ANASTASIO
