JOY AS I KNOW YOU

 

Consciously or unconsciously
I deviated from myself to know you
Being with you, understanding you
I've fallen for you, I'm in love
I tell myself so often I do

Not a second goes by without you coming to mind
There's no one like you, you're one of your kind
I'll be true to you, I belong to you
Your face in my memory is never far behind

Through thick n thin you by my side I see
A real true friend you turned out to be
Am I just imagining and wishing for it
Or do you really care for me

I never thought I'd ever have a friend
Who would like me and to me flowers send
Love me for myself alone
And care for me right till the end

Alone I've always been
Alone I'm always seen
My trust in people lost forever
Today your shoulder you gave me to lean

Don't let the world turn you sour
Promise me you'll be the way you are
Thinking of others rather than yourself
Your soul then nothing can mar

Tomorrow may bring its ups n downs
You and your family may lack in finery and gowns
A tear in your eye and a smile on your lips
From a dumb can bring the happiest sounds

Today I look up at you and am proud
To have a friend like you in this rowdy crowd
I want the whole world to know
And shout out you're name aloud

Come come its no time to be coy
You my friend aren't a tree or a toy
To talk about you is as simple as saying
I have the joy of knowing JOY...
