We were talking about how all the years go by
People and places and the march of time
Only memories can take us back there again;
Like the day on the boat beneath a clear blue sky
When out of the sea they came to jump and fly
Now i understand why my friend said
"Dolphins make us cry;"
Cos this was pure joy the way they laughed and played
Skipping and a-dancing through the ocean waves
It was pure joy for all to see
So why can't we more often feel that joy of living?
And we were talking about how in the days gone by
We would believe that all our dreams could fly
But they fade away like sunset out of the sky;
And i was there in a garden where the children play
Hearing them singing on a summer's day
Made me realise how soon we lose that innocence inside;
Cos this was pure joy the way they laughed and played
Skipping and a-dancing on that sunny day
It was pure joy for all to see
So why can't we more often feel that joy of living?
(pure joy pure joy)
So why can't we more often feel that joy of living?
Sheer joy of living that joy of living:
Cos it was pure joy (the joy of living)
Pure joy (the joy of living)
It was pure joy (the joy of living)
Pure joy that joy of living.
