Lyrics

The Sweeter Tears.

Verse 1
Now there?s a purpose to this game of life,
A lesson somewhere to be found.
Amidst the tears and pain, for all that?s lost there?s something gained.
A longing to be homeward bound.
A longing to be once more homeward bound.

Chorus:
You?ve got to cry for laughing and trust it all works out.
Cos bitter tears don?t end those years of uncertain doubt.
You?ve got to cry for laughing and wash away those tears,
Cos crying in the name of love are by far the sweeter tears,
Cos crying in the name of love are by far the sweeter tears.

Mid 8:
Tonight is all I?ve got to spend with you,
Take my hand and see me through.

Verse 2
Now when you look into those eyes of love,
You find the strength to get back home.
And in those eyes of love you find that there?s more than enough,
The grace that now you?ll never be alone,
At last this grace has come to take you home.

Chorus:
You?ve got to cry for laughing and trust it all works out.
Cos bitter tears don?t end those years of uncertain doubt.
You?ve got to cry for laughing and wash away those tears,
Cos crying in the name of love are by far the sweeter tears,
Cos crying in the name of love are by far the sweeter tears.
Cos crying in the name of love are by far the sweeter tears.
