Years
Brother Ali

(verse 1)

a bottle of wine and two glasses

potato salad and that old picnic basket

sunday afternoon spread a blanket for so many years that we tend to lose track of it

those years turn dreams into memories

much oblige for every one you spent with me

cant believe the kids that were at our feet all moved out and began their own family

it still feels like just yesterday

i stood in that mirror practicin' what to say

just know when i live for the moment

my eyes glowed, held out my hand and felt yours on it

you dont know the power a touch like that

you have on a lovestruck lad

everything i ever used to care about fade to the back

i feel that way to this day, matter of fact


(chorus)

laughter and tears we had through the years

like magnets, attract without fear

the sun .light that magically appeared

i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here


laughter and tears we had through the years

the feeling of companion is near

the first touch, that cant be compared

i recall and i'm glad that you're here


(verse 2)

that old tree witnessed the first love we made

i pulled out my pocket knife, gave it my name

but like all trees, he went and grew rings and that carving got harder to read from far away

and the stress of this world, it pressed you

made you forget you possessed something special

and all of this mess, you tended to neglect the blessing that slept directly next to you

so i'm painfully ignored by a girl masquerading as the lady i adore

and even though i lived as your husband

i cant help missin' the kiss i fell in love with

what was once huggin' and kissin'

one day made way to fussin' and bickerin'

now cussin' and no one's listenin'

lost all grip on love in the midst of it



(chorus)

laughter and tears we had through the years

the challenges you have interfere

the heartbreak and anguish we shared

i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here


laughter and tears we had through the years

we snapped and reacted out of fear

broken promises can't be repaired

i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here


(verse 3)

those things that we say when we argue

never go away, they become part of you

furthermore with every new scar it grew ever harder to open my heart to you

i need you to believe me when i tell you that

i didn't step out on you to get you back

i was just hungry for affection that the first time another gave attention, i was in the trap

i let her stand in for you

trying to recapture the magic that i knew

thats why i fell for it because

when she held me in her arms, i pretended they were yours

i dont fault you for being mad at me

we were a family, i put you through a tragedy

can't blame you for losing sanity

rolling me over in my sleep and stabbing me


(chorus)

laughter and tears we had through the years

everytime our anniversary nears

you show up with a picnic basket and a beer

i recall it all and i'm glad that you're here


laughter and tears we had, it appears

the best talks i've had with you in years

are right here where you laid my casket my dear

i'll save you a place and catch you when you're here
