Janis Ian - Through the Years lyrics
[Janis Ian - Through the Years lyrics]
It's a miracle of nature
Just to be alive tonight awake in your arms
The world and it's charms
Lit up by candle light
It's a miracle of feeling
To love despite the fear
So please don't forget i've had no regrets
Since you found me here
Through the years we've been happy
Through the years we've been sad
And sometimes, feeling lucky
Was the only luck we had but we always found
Some laughter in the tears through the years
It's a never-ending wonder
That other arms are cold when every night
I'm warmed by the light
Of your spendthrift soul
Shining like a beacon
Lit up against the dark what do people do
When they don't have you
To burn in their hearts?
Through the years we've been happy
Through the years we've been sad
And sometimes, feeling lucky
Was the only luck we had we always found
Some laughter in the tears through the years
What do people do who haven't got you
To lighten the tears? Through the years
Just to be alive tonight awake in your arms
The world and it's charms
Lit up by candle light
It's a miracle of feeling
To love despite the fear
So please don't forget i've had no regrets
Since you found me here
Through the years we've been happy
Through the years we've been sad
And sometimes, feeling lucky
Was the only luck we had but we always found
Some laughter in the tears through the years
It's a never-ending wonder
That other arms are cold when every night
I'm warmed by the light
Of your spendthrift soul
Shining like a beacon
Lit up against the dark what do people do
When they don't have you
To burn in their hearts?
Through the years we've been happy
Through the years we've been sad
And sometimes, feeling lucky
Was the only luck we had we always found
Some laughter in the tears through the years
What do people do who haven't got you
To lighten the tears? Through the years
