Lyrics 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…
