Janis Ian Through the Years 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.

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 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 spendthrift soul.
Shining like a beacon,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/7CfB ]
Lit up against the dark.
What do people do,
When they don’t have you,
To burn in their hearts?

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.

[Short instrumental break.]

What do people do,
who haven’t got you,
To lighten the tears,
Through the years?
