Tears

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I never thought I'd meet someone

Who loves unselfishly

But I appreciate the way you loved

And sacrificed for me

[Chorus]

I can't hold back these tears

Let me cry

(Although a man's not supposed to cry, baby)

If I hold back my tears

I'll just die

(You've given so much to my life)

[Verse 2]

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 would mean

Now I know that I didn't know much

'Cause you taught me everything

[Chorus]

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)

[Bridge]

Oh, 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, baby

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

[Chorus]

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, you, you've given so much to my life)

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

(Oh, you've given so much, so much, so much to my life, baby)

I can't hold back these tears

Let me cry

(Oh, let me cry, baby)

If I hold back my tears

I'll just die

(Oh, don't let me, don't, don't, don't let me)

[Outro]

I can't hold back these tears

(Yeah, I'll just die, oh, oh, oh)
