I Sing for Joy

When I was younger, the hunger came calling And humbly I answered, each rising and falling I will not surrender, at this wiser and tender age I turn the page And I sing for joy For the smile that it brings from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise 'Til her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy I sing for joy When I was lonely, my angel found me She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away Now I can sing I sing for joy For the smile that it brings from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise Until her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy I sing for joy Who could come nearer, to making life clearer The time we're together, grows dearer and dearer When I must travel, and I have to leave her alone She's in my song And I sing for joy For the smile that it brings from the heart Through these guitar strings It was only noise 'Til her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy I sing for joy 'Cause her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy I sing for joy
