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, | |
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 neverending 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, | |
