Sweet Joy Of Life

[Chorus: Blinky]
Sweet joy of life
You gave me your love, oh so sweetly
Sweet joy of life
You wrapped up my soul so completely

[Verse 1: Blinky and Edwin Starr]
The wind, the snow, and the rain
They all came
But as the seasons changed, you never changed your love for me
Oh, as the days went by, I knew somehow
It couldn't always be

[Chorus: Edwin Starr]
Sweet, sweet joy of life
And I thought from the start we could make it
Oh, my sweet, sweet joy of life
A love so strong, no-one could take it

[Verse 3: Blinky and Edwin Starr]
Oh, but then came the day
When you looked away
And it was plain to see that you were gonna take your love from me
Oh, my sweet joy of life
Why did it have to be, oh, you and me
I don't know, but she can never love you more than I can love you
Can't you see there'll never, never be another (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: Blinky and Edwin Starr]
Sweet joy of life
Oh, sweet joy of life
Oh oh, my sweet joy of life
Sweet joy

[Outro: Edwin Starr and Blinky]
Now you wonder how I'm doing (Don't worry, baby)
Well, I guess I always wonder how you're doing, Blinky
Edwin, you're still my sweet joy of life
(Woah oh oh, ooh)
