Joy - Brandon Rogers

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, â€

‽A-B-C me in the yard after schoolâ€

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…
