"Tears Of Joy" lyrics
Struggle Jennings & Lorrie Morgan Lyrics
I still had so much to say
But not enough time to tell you
So I drop to my knees and pray
That these words reach you in Heaven
I won't wipe these tears anymore
'Cause these here are tears of joy
He finally took your pain away
I still had so much to say (Struggle)
I had so much to say, our time was up too instantly
As we lay you down to rest we'll live inside those memories
Listen to the symphony, I don't want no sympathy
I just wanna tell you one more time all that you meant to me, uh
Lookin' in these children's eyes, there's visions of you vividly
Damn, I hope you're hearin' me, I promise that your kids will be
Forever good at any cost
No gains replace the loss
As time moves, time's lost
It was not your time to sign off
But you're gone now but forever here
I can see your smile inside every tear
Hear your voice when your daughter's mad
I can see your pain when your son is sad
So glad that you're safe now
Free from all of that pain now
But it's taking all of my strength now
Tryin' not to just break down
I still had so much to say
And not enough time to tell you
So I drop to my knees and pray
That these words reach you in Heaven
I won't wipe these tears anymore
'Cause these here are tears of joy
He finally took your pain away
I still had so much to say (Too much to say)
So many things to me now they just don't make sense
Hard for me to just take this
Say your name in the past tense
Back then I was hard on ya
Tried to save your life with some tough love
When we could talk again I would let it go
And only tell you about how great you was
You loved strong but you felt weak
You gave in like we all do
I did everything that I could do
Sometimes I feel it's my fault too
You know I'm taboo, down here workin' hard
Trying to mend scars on them broken hearts
She took the part with open arms
To be a guiding light when all hope was gone
Be the woman they gon' need now
Raise her right like you wanted to
Yeah, the family stronger, we gettin' through
But it's a lot harder here without you
No lie, hard truth
I don't think I've even got to grieve yet
Gotta be strong for these babies now
But I'm writin' this, both my sleeves wet
I still had so much to say
And not enough time to tell you
So I drop to my knees and pray
That these words reach you in Heaven
I won't wipe these tears anymore
'Cause these here are tears of joy
He finally took your pain away
I still had so much to say
But not enough time to tell you
So I drop to my knees and pray
That these words reach you in Heaven
I won't wipe these tears anymore
'Cause these here are tears of joy
He finally took your pain away
I still had so much to say (Struggle)
I had so much to say, our time was up too instantly
As we lay you down to rest we'll live inside those memories
Listen to the symphony, I don't want no sympathy
I just wanna tell you one more time all that you meant to me, uh
Lookin' in these children's eyes, there's visions of you vividly
