Verse 1
One August day my little girl
Tiptoed in my room giggling
She said Happy Birthday I got this for you
I bought it at the dollar store
And I wish I could have gotten you more
But I know you like big rings with pretty stones
Pre-chorus
I never told her the stones were colored glass
But somehow I think she knew
I held back tears as she kissed my cheek
She whispered I love you
Chorus
COLORED GLASS AND TEARS.
THROUGH ALL OF MY YEARS.
REFLECTING MY HOPES AND ALL MY FEARS.
COLORED GLASS AND TEARS SEEM TO
ALWAYS REAPPEAR.
REMINDING ME OF WHY I’M HERE.
COLORED GLASS AND TEARS
Verse 2
So many years have come and gone.
And my little girl has got a new man of her dreams
Who she loves and wants me to meet.
The date was set for late in June
With a honeymoon down in Cancun
We toasted with green bottles of pink champagne.
Pre-chorus
I felt so proud when we gave her away.
To the new man in her life.
Tear filled eyes, wine glasses raised high
As we toasted man and wife.
Repeat chorus
Verse 3
The sun cascades through a stained window
As I take my place in the third row
A baby, a drop of water christens the day
Pre-chorus
We bow our heads and my eyes well up
As I know they always do
Glass and tears through all of these years
Will always see me through
Repeat chorus
