Joy Songtext

There for a minute, I was feeling real rough
Until I saw that what I had was enough
I didn't know that I could love it this much
But I'm

Feeling good, feeling right
Every day, every night
'Cause I got joy in my life
In my life, yeah
Say farewell (Say farewell), say goodbyе (Say goodbye)
To my worries (To my worries) and strifе (And strife)
Cause I got joy (I got joy) in my life (In my life)
In my life (In my life)

Sing it with me now
Joy (Yeah, yeah)
Baby, baby, I got Joy

When the rain falls
When the sun shines When the winds change
In the hard times
I will stand firm
I'll be alright
'Cause I got joy
In my life (Joy)
When the rain falls
When the sun shines
When the winds change (I got joy)
In the hard times
I will stand firm
I'll be alright
'Cause I got joy
In my life

Feeling good, feeling right
Every day, every night
'Cause I got joy in my life
In my life
Yeah

Say farewell (Say farewell), say goodbye (Say goodbye)
To my worries (To my worries) and strife (And strife)
'Cause I got joy (I got joy) in my life (In my life)
In my life (In my life)

Sing it with me now
Joy (Yeah)
Baby, baby, I got Joy
Joy
I got joy
Joy

And that, my friends, is The Joy of Music. Thanks so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it. Which was a lot. There's a list of people I'd like to thank coming up. If you could stick around for that, stick around. If you've got somewhere to be, no sweat, just know that I really appreciate you tuning in and making this album a small part of your life. I'd like to thank John Fields for being my partner in crime. For his patience as I changed things a decibel at a time again and again, only to go back to what we had originally. Thanks John. You're the best. To my wife Hillary, for your support as I came out here almost every day for a year and a half to chase down this record. So glad I get to do life with you, and you're the best. To my daughter Jane, for making me excited to wake up every morning to see what you're gonna say and do.To my twins, Roy and Robert, for being just an absolute handful, but for being pretty sweet most of the time. I wanna thank Snoop Dogg, which is a sentence I never thought I'd say, for rapping on "Sunday," and for being cool about it when I edited out your reference to National Blunt Day. Thanks to Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes for making my hipster musician friends think I'm just a little bit cooler than I am. To Kenny G for cred with my dad. And to Dave Koz for ripping what is potentially the best saxophone solo I've ever heard in my life on "Supernatural." Thanks to all the other writers, players, just collaborators in general who lended your talents to the record. It is better because of it, and I am grateful to work with you. Well, guys, we did it. Until I see you next time, this is Ben Rector, signing off, telling you to please, be joyful
