Babyface - Tears lyrics

Written by babyface (1997) Performed by the isley brothers featuring ronald isley Thank you, baby For the years you've given me For each beat of my heart For every breath I breathe Thank you, sweetie For the best times of my life Through the good, through the bad You were always by my side I never thought I'd meet someone Who loves unselfishly But I appreciate the way you loved and sacrificed for me I can't hold back these tears Let me cry (although a man's not supposed to cry) If I hold back my tears I'll just die (you've given so much to my life) Thank you, lady For the joy you bring to life When I thought all was lost and gone You brought hope back in sight Thank you, honey For being my best friend When I thought no one understood You would always understand I used to think that I knew love And what true love should mean Now I know that I did not know much 'cause you taught me everything Hook God so loved the world That he blessed us all with you And then he gave me a heart Now I'm giving it to you And these tears I cry are tears of joy My happiness, I do rejoice In the love you give unselfishly Your constant sacrifice for me Hook 2 times
