Tracey Thorn - Joy lyrics

rate me

When someone very dear, calls you with the words

Everything’s all clear

That’s what you want to hear

But you know it might be different in the new year

That’s why, that’s why

We hang the lights so high

Joy, joy, joy, joy,

You loved it as a kid, and now you need it more than you ever did

It’s because of the dark, we see the beauty in the spark

That’s why, that’s why

The carols make you cry

Joy, joy, joy, joy

Joy, joy, joy, joy

The tinsel on the tree, yes I see

The holly on the door, like before

The candles in the gloom, light the room

The story of the globe, yes I understand

So light the winter fire, and watch as the flames grow higher

We’ll gather up our fears

And face down all the coming years

All that they’ve destroyed

And in their face we throw our

Joy, joy, joy, joy

Joy, joy, joy, joy

It’s why, we hang the lights so high

And gaze at the glow, of silver birches in the snow

Because of the dark, we see the beauty in the spark

We must be alright, if we could make up Christmas night.
