Pure Joy

We were talking about how all the years go by People and places and the march of time Only memories can take us back there again Like the day on the boat beneath a clear blue sky When out of the sea they came to jump and fly Now I understand why my friend said "Dolphins make us cry" Chorus: ’Cause this was pure joy the way they laughed and played Skipping and a-dancing through the ocean waves It was pure joy for all to see So why can’t we more often feel that joy of living? And we were talking about how in the days gone by We would believe that all our dreams could fly But they fade away like sunset out of the sky And I was there in a garden where the children play Hearing them singing on a summer’s day Made me realise how soon we lose that innocence inside Chorus: ’Cause this was pure joy the way they laughed and played Skipping and a-dancing on that sunny day It was pure joy for all to see So why can’t we more often feel that joy of living? OUTRO: Pure joy           Pure joy     So why can’t we more often feel that joy of living?   Sheer joy of living   That joy of living ’Cause it was pure joy (the joy of living) Pure joy (the joy of living) It was pure joy (the joy of living) Pure joy that joy of living
