Capo 4
C F C G C
We were talking about how all the years go by
F C G Am
People and places and the march of time
F G Am F G
Only memories can take us back there again
F C G C
Like the day on the boat, beneath a clear blue sky
F C G Am
When out of the sea they came to jump and fly
C G Am F G C
Now I understand why my friend said, "Dolphins make us cry"
Chorus:
F C G C
'Cause this was pure joy, the way they laughed and played
Dm G
Skipping and a-dancing through the ocean waves
F C E Am
It was pure joy, for all to see
F G F G C
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living?
C F C G C
And we were talking about, how in the days gone by
F C G Am
We would believe that all our dreams could fly
F G Am F G
But they fade away, like sunset out of the sky
F C G C

And I was there in a garden, where the children play
F C G Am
Hearing them singing on a summer's day
C G Am F G C
Made me realise how soon, we lose that innocence inside
Chorus:
F C G C
'Cause this was pure joy, the way they laughed and played
Dm G
Skipping and a-dancing on that sunny day
F C E Am
It was pure joy, for all to see
F G F G C
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living?
OUTRO:

Sheer joy of living
