Colored Glass and Tears
Verse 1
An August morn my little girl
Tiptoed in my room giggling
And 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
As she whispered I love you

Chorus
COLORED GLASS AND TEARS.
THROUGH ALL OF MY YEARS.
REFLECTING ALL OF MY HOPES AND MY FEARS.
COLORED GLASS AND TEARS SEEM TO
ALWAYS REAPPEAR IN MY LI
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 I 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 (short Verse)
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 as my eyes well up It was that point I really knew
Glass and tears through all of these years Will always see me through
Repeat chorus
