Through the Years

Song Through the Years
Artist Janis Ian
Album Breaking Silence

Lyrics

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?
