Don Williams I Sing for Joy song lyrics

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

And I sing for joy

For the smile that it brings from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise

'Til 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

I sing for joy

For the smile that it brings from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise

Until 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

And I sing for joy

For the smile that it brings from the heart

Through these guitar strings

It was only noise

'Til her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for joy

'Cause her love put a song in the soul of this good ole boy

I sing for joy
