All the Joy Lyrics

I took a night with you
And then I took another
And to my solitude
I brought a lover
We beckon ecstasy undercover

We took all the joy we could take
so lightly
And all the love we could make
so mightily, yeah
All the joy we could take
so lightly
And all the love we could make
so mightily, yeah

And I am driving fast as the sun goes down
This spell may not last,
but it was fun wearing the crown
That made me the princess
and you the clown

We took all the joy we could take
so lightly
And all the love we could make
so mightily
And al the joy we could take
so lightly
And all the love we could make
so mightily, yeah

And with this feather in your cap
You do prance around
The wings on my feet
They do not touch the ground
And when I think of you
I don't hear a sound

I took all the joy I could take
so lightly
And all the love I could make
so mightily
All the joy I could take
so lightly
And all the love I could make
so mightily, yeah
All the love I could make
so mightily, yeah
All the love I could make
so mightily, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
