Joy Lyrics - Joy - Phish

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
