Joy

When someone very dear Calls you with the words "everything's all clear " That's what you want to hear But you know it might be different in the New Year That's why, that's why we hang the lights so high Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, You loved it as a kid, and now you need it more than you ever did It's because of the dark; we see the beauty in the spark That's why, that's why the carols make you cry Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Tinsel on the tree, yes I see The holly on the door, like before The candles in the gloom, light the room The Sally Army band, yes I understand So light the winds of fire, And watch as the flames grow higher We'll gather up our fears And face down all the coming years All that they destroy And in their face we throw our Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy It's why, we hang the lights so high And gaze at the glow of silver birches in the snow Because of the dark, we see the beauty in the spark We must be alright, if we could make up Christmas night.
