Joy

Long ago There was this pretty young thing from across the way We used to go To and fro, home and school about every day, but… Closest thing we ever had to a date Was the time we spent together being late Walking down the hall on our way to homeroom But we were really young back then So I guess I never noticed the time she took To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked Like a princess everyday for me and She was waiting for me To do something But I did nothing Cause I was too blind to see That I was just a boy and She was my joy Everything that I could need She was so much more Wonder if I'll ever see her (Knock, Knock) Knocking at my door She was my joy… Joy….Joy…Joy…Joy I Wish I could Go back in time and treat her a little better Because I would… Maybe tell her how I feel; I could put it in a letter saying ‽J-O-Y because I like you, †‽A-B-C me in the yard after school†And I'd hold her close Maybe give her my coat if it was cold outside But we were really young back then And I guess I never noticed the time she took To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked Like a princess everyday for me and She was waiting for me To do something But I did nothing Cause I was too blind to see That I was just a boy and She was my joy It was so long ago But I still see it like yesterday We were walking alone You were singing a song I had my chance I let it pass And I'll never get it back again I wonder how you've been my friend I can't help but think about what could've been Would our lives be the same A whole world of difference From one tiny change I don't know what I'd give up I don't know if you'd live up To my great expectations Of you…
