Janis Ian — Through the Years

[Verse 1] It's a miracle of nature Just to be alive tonight Awake in your arms The world and its 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] What do people do Who haven't got you To lighten the tears? Through the years
