Pure Joy
Written for Joy by Teodora

Lyrics:

Born in Montreal, always close to home
That's how it's supposed to be
My grandma brought me up, what a woman she was
She was always there waiting for me
A woman far ahead of her time
A detective, a mother, a grandmother, a role model for me

My father always knew how to treat me right
He was the greatest man that ever graced my life
He never wanted to a start a fight
He had the biggest influence on my life

Chorus:
Running through the yard
Air Blowing my hair
My dogs and me we're running ever so free
Grandma and father calling out to me
Loving life and being so carefree
Pure Joy fills me

Now I get to school
I didn't play by the rules
Playing sports with the boys
Games filled my days
Why do they have all the nice things anyways?

I never got into trouble no, no, no
I loved my Dad and Grandma way too much
I never wanted to hurt them
They were such a loving bunch
And if I ever felt like straying, I just remember my grandma saying

Joy, hold it in if you have to,
Write it all out if you have to, but just remember to love.

Chorus

My teens were wonderful years
There was dancing and music filled my ears
Ships would come into town , carrying handsome soldiers

A soldier was my first kiss
A moment of pure bliss
A moment of pure bliss
The fast times when I was a teen
When I was just an in between

Life is so funny
It can give some nice times
And then just sweep you off your feet

Chorus

I dated for a bit
And then one day it hit
Jan was walking with a man beside her
I said, "Holy moly what's that coming down with her?"
It was Larry. Young, young Larry.
It was love at first sight, I just knew it was right
He took me out, that's right, talked all through the night

Dad said he may not be the first one
But he just might be the last one
2 years later we got married
55 years later we were still married

Love can drive you in an uncontrollable manner
But to me that just didn't matter
I wanted to marry Larry
The loveliest man that I ever saw
Another man like that I'll never get
Our children Glenn and Janet, truly completed our family
Great kids that never caused trouble
Still now, they're always there for me

Running through the yard
Air blowing my hair
Grandma and father
Calling out to me
Pure Joy fills me
