| It's a miracle of nature, | |
| Just to be alive tonight, | |
| Awake in your arms, | |
| The world and its charms, | |
| Lit up by candlelight. | |
| 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. | |
| 'Cos through the years we've been happy. | |
| Through the years we've been sad. | |
| And sometimes, feelin' lucky, | |
| Was the only luck we had. | |
| But I would not trade the laughter | |
| or 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 liven their hearts? | |
| 'Cos 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. | |
| What do people do, | |
| who haven’t got you, | |
| To lighten their tears, | |
| Through the years? |
| It' s a miracle of nature, | |
