Judie Tzuke - Joy lyrics

She was my best friend, My start and finish to the day I was round at her house, We talked too loud and put the world to right We did things our way But her reflection in the mirror was all wrong And looking back, I was pretty stupid then A lesson learned Joy I moved on Joy Then there were the phone calls She was on a roof, Somewhere we couldn't find her We didn't look, as if we needed proof Thought that she was joking Just being the drama queen Her dad hit her when she got home She didn't tell us anything A lesson learned Joy I never knew what he'd done Joy The most beautiful face that I had ever seen I had no idea the trouble she was in And I should have noticed she was so thin But I can't save her now She was my best friend, (When my world was innocent) I should've listened (How I miss the time we spent) She was my best friend And I'm still here counting the cost Marking the distance From what we had to what we both lost And I always wanted to look just like her How could I understand how much her beauty hurt? When my world was innocent How I miss the time we spent She was my best friend And I'm still here counting the cost Marking the distance From what we had to what we both lost She was my best friend, (When my world was innocent) I should've listened (How I miss the time we spent) She was my best friend And I'm still here counting the cost Marking the distance From what we had to what we both lost From what we had to what we both lost.
