Lyrics:

I sing for joy
don williams
gary burr / doug johnson
album: i turn the page

when i was younger, the hunger came calling
and humbly i answered each rising and falling
i will not surrender at this wiser and tender age
i turn the page

chorus:
and i sing for joy
for the smile that it brings, from the heart
through these guitar strings
it was only noise, till her love put a song
in the soul of this good ole boy
i sing for joy

when i was lonely, my angel found me
she sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me
and the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away
now i can sing

chorus:
and i sing for joy
for the smile that it brings, from the heart
through these guitar strings
it was only noise, till her love put a song
in the soul of this good ole boy
i sing for joy

who could come nearer, to making life clearer
the time we’re together grows dearer and dearer
when i must travel and i have to leave her alone
she’s in my song

chorus:
and i sing for joy
for the smile that it brings, from the heart
through these guitar strings
it was only noise, till her love put a song
in the soul of this good ole boy
i sing for joy
