A SILENT JOY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

when you're sleeping
and your world
is all at peace
I can see your dreams
behind your eyelids
as they are fluttering
for now at least [for now at least]
and in my worried heart
there is an easing
buoyed
by a silent joy
and then I knew
the truth is that always
I love you

the dawn is creeping
and the sky is turning blue
and then we will find
we are together
just for a time [who knows how long]
and like a little child
who does treasure a
toy
like a silent joy
I hold the prize
that hides in your eyes
love me too

and tomorrow
when the night it falls away
I will be right here
sitting beside you
watch out the window
as turn to day [I hope it comes]
and in my empty soul
you fill the night of
void
with a silent joy
that we'll always share
me and you
my life
sustained
by the silent joy of you
you give to me freely
every single night and day
like a little boy
who is lost at play
so happily
and I know
we can be
so in love
eternally

there was once a time
when I wandered through this world alone
I did not know the secret
that two lovers can share
and in my mind
I didn't understand
until a house became a home
I did not know just how or where
that I could find
that a single man
can be more than just a stone

you gave me
the choice
to have the gift
of a silent joy
