Lyrics
Tears Of Joy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Up-rooted and restless, I paid the cost
I've been a mess, misguided and lost
But I've been so blessed since our paths have crossed
That's why I'm crying tears of joy
In my own little world since I was sixteen
Little miss playgirl making the scene
Then you took this girl and you made her your queen
That's why I'm crying tears of joy
I used to play games with my boyfriends
Fashion and fame, hip little trends
Now I have a real man, don't have to pretend
And that's why I'm crying tears of joy
I'll be your woman, be your everything
You be my baby, you be my king
You give my life meaning, that's why I wear your ring
And that's why I'm crying tears of joy
And that's why I'm crying tears of joy
That's why I'm crying tears of joy
