[Verse 1]
I've always come to the conclusion that 'but' is the way
Of asking for permission to lay something heavy on ones head
So I have tried to not be the one who'll fall into that line
But what I feel inside I think you should know

[Chorus]
And baby that's you - you - you
Made life's his-to-ry
Because you've brought some joy inside my tears
And you have done what no one thought could be
You've brought some joy inside my tears

[Verse 2]
I've always felt that tomorrow is for those who are too much afraid
To go past yesterday and start livin' for today
I feel that lasting moments are coming far and few between
So I should tell you of the happiness that you bring

[Chorus]
Baby, baby it's you - you - you
Made life's his-to-ry
Oh baby, you've brought some joy inside my tears
Baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears

[Chorus]
You've brought some joy inside my tears
Baby, baby you have done what no one thought could be
He - y, you brought some joy inside my tears

[Chorus]
Got to tell you
You - you - you made life's his-to-ry
You brought some joy inside my tears
- you brought you brought you brought some joy inside my tears
Baby baby baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears

[Bridge]
You made it baby you made it baby made it made life's his-to-ry
- you you you made life's his-to-ry
You brought some joy inside my tears
You have done what no one thought could be
- No-body ever thought it would be
You have done what no one thought could be
You you you made life's his-to-ry
- Got to shout about it baby
You brought some joy inside my tears

[Outro]
You have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You you you made life's his-to-ry
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my
Tears

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
