Overjoyed

Overjoyed, written and performed by Stevie Wonder, was featured on the album In Square Circle released in 1985. Wonder began composing the song in 1979, and its lyrics address the hope and determination to make an impossible love come to life, emphasizing the power of dreams and imagination.

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my rea - son
I’ve gone much too far - for you now to say
That I've got to throw - my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been drea - ming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to disco - ver
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
can make it true if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you
over you
