Lyrics

[Intro]
You bring me joy when I'm down
Oh, so much joy when I lose my way
Your love comes smilin' on me
[Verse 1]
I saw your face, and then I knew
We would be friends
I was so afraid, but your eyes, they'd say
"Come to me"
Mmm-mmm
[Chorus]
So, I'd say to you
"Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say, "It's alright"
When you love me, I smile
I feel your heart, and you feel mine
You bring me joy
[Verse 2]
You bring me joy
Don't go too far away
If I can't see your face
I will remember your smile
[Verse 3]
But can this be right?
Oh, and should we be friends?
I get lonely sometimes
And I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
[Bridge]
My joy, my joy
[Chorus]
I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just, I love you, oh, can't you see?
That you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
[Bridge]
My joy
You are, you're my joy
My joy
My
You bring me joy
My joy
[Outro]
I, thank you, baby, thank you, baby
You bring me joy
I just love you, baby
I just love you, baby
I, I just love you, you, you
When I lose my way, your love comes smilin' on me
