Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Tears of Joy

Uprooted 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 a 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 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
