Lyrics
(Verse 1)
There's a guy named Joe, he's as kind as they come,
He might be a little slow, but his heart's never numb.
He sees the world with a smile on his face,
Can't understand why some hearts seem out of place.
(Pre-Chorus)
He wonders every day, as he walks down the street,
Why the bright minds he meets can't seem to find their beat.
(Chorus)
Why do the smart ones seem so sad?
Joe's got a heart that's always glad.
He can't figure out the reasons why,
But he keeps on trying, that kind-hearted guy.
(Verse 2)
Joe says hi to everyone, he's a friend to all,
He loves the simple things, the summer and the fall.
He sees the heavy hearts, in the thinkers' eyes,
Can't find the reasons, no matter how he tries.
(Pre-Chorus)
He wonders every night, as he lays down to sleep,
Why the brightest minds around seem to find life so deep.
(Chorus)
Why do the smart ones seem so sad?
Joe's got a heart that's always glad.
He can't figure out the reasons why,
But he keeps on trying, that kind-hearted guy.
(Bridge)
Maybe it's the weight of the world on their shoulders,
Maybe they see things that make them grow colder.
Joe just knows love and he shares it so freely,
Thinks maybe that's the secret, he believes it sincerely.
(Verse 3)
Joe keeps on smiling, no matter what they say,
Spreading warmth and joy in his own simple way.
He hugs the sad ones, tries to lighten their load,
Wonders if someday they'll find his happy road.
(Chorus)
Why do the smart ones seem so sad?
Joe's got a heart that's always glad.
He can't figure out the reasons why,
But he keeps on trying, that kind-hearted guy.
(Outro)
Maybe Joe's got it right, in his simple mind,
Love and kindness are the treasures we should find.
So he'll keep on smiling, with his heart open wide,
Trying to cheer up the world, with Joe as their guide.
(Outro)
Maybe Joe's got it right, in his simple mind,
Love and kindness are the treasures we should find.
So he'll keep on smiling, with his heart open wide,
Trying to cheer up the world, with Joe as their guide.
