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)
(Joy)
