"It Was Worth It" lyrics

We've been planting flowers in the spring
Watch them as they grow
Out in the yard by the beech tree
You reap what you sow
They will not last the winter
The colors will be brief
But wildflowers are your favorite thing

It was worth it
It was worth it
It was worth all the loss and the pain
It was worth it
It was worth that tear on your face
And as we grow, we grow, we grow
We revel in the afterglow
And on and on and on and on we say
It was worth it
It was worth it

Seasons they change, they pass us by
The good times ebb and flow
Rain clouds will gather and the sun will shine
The same hand brings them both
It never seems to matter
We rise and fall with the tide
And always come out stronger on the other side

It was worth it
It was worth all the loss and the pain
It was worth it
It was worth that tear on your face
And as we grow, we grow, we grow
We revel in the afterglow
And on and on and on and on we say
It was worth it
It was worth it

Now there're little footprints out on our garden path
Hair's turning gray, we're slowing down
But our joy will last
Gone up and down the mountains
Sometimes we lost our way
But every time we did, love, we would say
(Say, say, say)

It was worth it
It was worth all the loss and the pain
It was worth it
It was worth that tear on your face
It was worth it
It was worth all the loss and the pain
It was worth it
It was worth that tear on your face
(Hey!)
