Joy To Me
Rigmor Gustafsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my feet are light
I’m walking in the park
I have time to spend all day
Just watching children laughing, playing,
innocent and free
That’s what I need to see
A glass of wine
My love is on his way
He says Hello
Gives me that kind of kiss
that only he knows that I love
And then he smiles
That’s exactly what I need
Skating on a winter day or
Waiting for the spring to take the snow away
feel the sun beams warm my skin
Maple leaves in red and gold,
falling from the trees is just another little thing
that makes me smile
April rain
Fireworks
Strawberries with cream
Traveling
underneath a starry sky
the radio’s on a little bit too loud
but I don’t mind at all
That’s joy to me
Joy to me
(bass solo)
Skating on a winter day or
Waiting for the spring to take the snow away
feel the sun beams warm my skin
Maple leaves in red and gold,
falling from the trees is just another little thing
that makes me smile
April rain
Fireworks
Strawberries with cream
Traveling
underneath a starry sky
the radio’s on a little bit too loud
but I don’t mind at all
That’s joy to me
Joy to me...
The lyrics to Rigmor Gustafsson's song "Joy to Me" describe the simple pleasures in life that bring joy to the singer. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song - the sky is clear and the singer's feet are light as she walks in the park with nothing but time to watch children playing and laughing. They represent innocence and freedom, elements that bring the singer pure joy. Next, she talks about her favorite song and a glass of wine, indicating her love for music and relaxation. Her love joins her, greeting her with a kiss that only he knows she loves. The singer then adds that it's his smile that brings her joy.
As the song progresses, the singer describes different scenarios and sensations that bring her joy. Skating on a winter day, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, seeing maple leaves in red and gold falling from the trees, hearing April rain, watching fireworks, eating strawberries with cream, and traveling underneath a starry sky with the radio on a little too loud. All of these small moments make the singer smile and fill her with joy.
The overall message of the song is that true joy comes from the simple, everyday experiences in life. It's not something that can be bought or attained through material possessions, but rather something that can be found in the beauty and simplicity of life itself.
