tears of joy lyrics

The northbound train just left for Heaven
Down by station 49
I watched the skyline rise above my window
It looks like castles in the sun
And I do believe I can hear the angels cry

Compromises, they get the best of you
Life is such a mystery
I never meant to leave you no heartache
But I guess it's just my time, baby
I cried for the sunshine
Now I've found sweet love from above
Everyone needs a little sometimes
But the rain keeps comin' down
And there ain't no way to stop it now so

Cry those tears of joy
Let them fall down your face
Love has been my saving grace
Cry those tears of joy
Please remember baby, love is gonna
Guide your way back home

And maybe someday baby
I'm gonna see you smile
For a little while
Precious child
I'll see you smile again

You know it's been so long now baby
Goin' on twenty years
And I can still reach out from my resting place
And feel your tender kiss

I cried for the sunshine
Now I've found sweet love from above
Everyone needs a little sometimes
But the rain keeps comin' down
And there ain't no way to stop it now so

Cry those tears of joy
Let them fall on down your face
Love has been my saving grace
Cry those tears of joy
Please remember baby, love is gonna
Guide your way back home

Cry now baby as the rain keeps comin' down
Cry those tears of joy
There ain't no way to stop it now so
So cry those tears
Cry those tears
Cry those tears of joy
