Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey

There is a joy

In a sweet word

That's been spoken

And the joy

In a dream

That's come true

There's a joy

That I get

When I'm watching you baby

Hey

And the joy that I get

Watching the skies of blue

And then there's a joy

Oh my darling

Of a crying baby

And the joy of a child that's born to you

Then there's a joy

Of a beautiful lady

And the joy of the morning dew

It's something like the joy

(Joy, joy)

Of loving you baby

(Joy, joy)

(Whoo)

Joy

(Joy, joy)

Of dancin' too

(Joy, joy)

It's something like the joy

(Joy, joy)

Of lovin' you baby, yeah

(Joy, joy)

(Whoo)

Joy

(Joy, joy)

Of being with you

(Joy, joy)

(Oh baby, oh baby)

Oh my darling

I'll overcome the darkest nights

Just to see your love's alright

I've got a love to give

You know I love to live

(There's something 'bout the joy of lovin' you baby)

(There's something 'bout the joy of lovin' you baby)

(There's something 'bout the joy of lovin' you baby)

(Damn, good talk)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)
