Janis Ian
Through the Years (Solo)
[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 lights
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
And it's shining like a beacon
Lit up against the dark
What do people do
When they don't have you
Alive in their hearts?
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
Through the years
Through the years
