Jacob's Tear Lyrics

by Brian Webb

My dear sister don't know nothing
She thinks I'm quite the private person
And this leaves me more or less at ease

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e62638-brian_webb~jacobs_tear_lyrics.html ]
So I'll stay a mystery
Just as long as I can see
The world is so enchanted if only intrigued

But her boy Jacob keeps her full
Yeah he is a different kind of soul
And he'll be 3 before too long

He ain't even old enough
to learn to hate or misuse love
The rest of his life to write his song

[Chorus]
Oh sing Jacob, sing
So I love him like he's my own
And I try to make his smile my home
Here is a life
I put my hope in here
I take all my courage, all my fear
And it rolls down in Jacob's Tear


Jacob's laugh will lift you up
So you should let his tears tear you down
And maybe learn to love the second time around

We all have tears to wipe away
My boy would've been about Jacob's age
But we live our life and write our songs

[Chorus] 2x
