CLARISSA SMILES Joy Is Here Verse 1 I woke up with the sunlight dancing on my floor, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but I am asking for no more. A little bit of laughter, a little bit of sky, a song inside my pocket and a sparkle in my eye. Pre-Chorus I’ve waited for the perfect day, but now I finally see — the day becomes a beautiful day when I let myself be free. Chorus Clarissa smiles, oh, she smiles! She’s been walking through the rain for quite a while. Now she turns her face to the golden sky — Clarissa smiles, and she knows why. Joy is here, joy is here, not tomorrow, not someday — it’s already here. Take a breath, feel the light, open up your heart tonight. Clarissa smiles — and so do I. Verse 2 There’s music in the morning, there are colours in the street, there’s a stranger saying “hello” and a rhythm in my feet. I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a grand design, sometimes happiness is simply saying, “This day is mine.” Pre-Chorus I’ve carried too many worries, I’ve been serious too long. So I’m trading all my “what ifs” for a little bit of song. Chorus Clarissa smiles, oh, she smiles! She’s been walking through the rain for quite a while. Now she turns her face to the golden sky — Clarissa smiles, and she knows why. Joy is here, joy is here, not tomorrow, not someday — it’s already here. Take a breath, feel the light, open up your heart tonight. Clarissa smiles — and so do I. Bridge Let the world be complicated, let the headlines come and go. I will keep a little sunshine where nobody else can know. And if I stumble, if I fall, I’ll laugh and dance and that is all. Final Chorus Clarissa smiles, wide and free, there’s a little more of life inside of me. Every morning, every mile, I can choose another smile. **Joy is here, joy is here, I can feel it getting near. No more waiting, no goodbye — Clarissa smiles… and so do I. Outro Oh, Clarissa smiles… Let the whole world smile… Joy is here. 🌞
