text: 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 ok but you’d keep it inside
  And 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 place we both understood
  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
  Joy, it’s you
  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
