Joy of Life

If he says just one more word

If he smiles just one more time

If he moves in my direction

What will I lose, just a little time

But then I think that I can never win her

That her mind is lost in a million other thoughts

And then the cost of plain rejection

Seems too much for this timid heart

You bury that notion

You bury that dream

Pretend that it was never even there

When you do away with the mystery

Unravel the seams

That’s when the joy of life disappears

A week goes by this great big mountain

A month is all it takes to shrink into the landscape

You make a choice to carry on 

‘Cause there’s gotta be another dream to rest your head upon 

You bury that notion

You bury that dream

Pretend that it was never even there

When you do away with the mystery

Unravel the seams

That’s when the joy of life disappears

Give it a try, after all we’re only human

What would it take to find out 

Give it a go, oh the time is really slipping

To be captured and adored

She buries that notion

She buries that dream

Pretends that it was never even there

When he’s figured out the mystery

Unravelled the seams

That’s when the joy of life disappears

What if we followed our notions

Followed our dreams

Considered that love might be here

If we got lost in the mystery

Followed the streams

Maybe the joy of life will reappear

What if we followed our notions

Followed our dreams

Considered that love might be here

If we got lost in the mystery

Followed the streams

Maybe the joy of life will reappear

If we got lost in the mystery 

Living our dreams

Surely the joy of life will reappear
