I Sing For Joy

(Gary Burr / Doug Johnson)



When I was younger, the hunger came calling

And humbly I answered each rising and falling

I will not surrender at this wiser and tender age

I turn the page.



Chorus:

And I sing for Joy

For the smile that it brings, from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise, till her love put a song

In the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for Joy.



When I was lonely, my angel found me

She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me

And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away

Now I can sing.



Chorus:

And I sing for Joy

For the smile that it brings, from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise, till her love put a song

In the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for Joy.



--- Instrumental ---



Who could come nearer, to making life clearer

The time we're together grows dearer and dearer

When I must travel and I have to leave her alone

She's in my song.



Chorus:

And I sing for Joy

For the smile that it brings, from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise, till her love put a song

In the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for Joy.



Of her love put a song

In the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for Joy...
