[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

[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 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
[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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
In time we'll weather this storm
Inside together you'll see the change
When the sun shines through

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
