Through The Years - Janis Ian

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 spindthrift soul

Shining like a beacon

Lit up against the dark

What do people do

When they don’t have you

Alive in their heart?

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 the tears?

Through the years

Through the years

Through the years
