I can see the trace that sorrow Has left upon your face And being realistic I know there are some things that Time just won't erase But still I'm coming to you gently And there's one promise I can make Besides of every tear that sorrrow has left you Tears of joy will take their place Tears of joy - hey Wash you clean Come on and let them set you free! Hey sometimes I know life can make you feel Like you don't know what to do But once there comes a time when you must settle down And feel the presence of the one who loves you Oh yes I'm coming to you gently And there's one promise I can make Besides of every tear that sorrrow has left you Tears of joy will take their place Tears of joy - hey Wash you clean Come on and let them set you free! If I could fly I'd fly straight to you Surround you with my love You'll be crying tears of joy - yeah Wash you clean Come on and let them set you free! ---- Improvisation: Come on say, and let those tears set you free Say come on now you'll be crying tears of joy Oh tears of joy You'll be crying tears of - you'll be crying tears of joy Say joy now joy real joy say tears Tears of joy yes You'll be crying tears of joy Ah - they say that tears can wash you clean And set you free set you free You'll be crying tears of joy I'll sourround you with love You'll be crying tears of joy...
