Joy To a Child's Eyes

A family trip to the beach on a sunny day, Having a friend come over to play, Kites flying way up high, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Learning to ride a brand new bike, Going to a nature trail to take a hike, A planned party or a birthday surprise, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Candy canes and a Christmas tree, Dressing up and acting like me, Cold milk and fresh baked pies, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Cowboy boots and G.I. Joes, Anything with batteries that goes, Watching the snow fall from the skies, Bring joy to a child’s eyes. Catching a big fish all on their own, Performing a solo standing proud and alone, Unwrapping presents to see what’s inside, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Mom reading a book before bed, Or helping at bath time by washing their head, Theme parks with characters and rides, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Getting a kiss from the dog they love, Putting on a new baseball glove, Hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries, Bings joy to a child’s eyes. Going to the circus to see the animal acts, Getting soda and cotton candy to watch the acrobats, Getting close to a bird before it flies, Brings joy to a child’s eyes. Knowing you’ve been loved your whole life, Admiring your father for how he treated his wife, Being proud of how your parents lived their lives, Brings joy to child’s eyes.
