Your Joy - Chrisette Michele

Walked down the sidewalk

Staring at your feet

Wishing my steps were longer

So by your sides I could keep

Hold your hand much bigger

Never wanted mine to grow

So I could always feel perfect

Inside your palms just so

No one loves me just like you do

No one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to way my eyes fit in yours

You’ll always be my father

And I’ll always be your joy

Laid me on your belly

Nights when mama wasn’t home

Lightning made me shiver

And you never let me feel alone

I tried to match your breathing

Beating my little heart against yours

Perfect were the nights we were sleeping

I never want to end what we are

'Cause No one loves me just like you do

And no one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours

You’ll always be my father

And I’ll always be your joy

One day he’ll come on bended knee

And ask my love away from thee

And when I give my love to him

He’ll always have a place within

One day he’ll come on bended knee

And ask my love away from thee

And when I give my love to him

He’ll always have a place within

No one loves me just like you do

No one knows me just like you do

No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours

You’ll always be my father

And I’ll always be your joy
