Verse One:
Well I have seen a summer in the spring time
I've kissed the girls that stayed out in the rain
I can count a good man as a friend of mine
So how could I complain
There were times I longed for romance
While a normal life took hold
I've not yet seen a death yet in my family
And I've been offered coffee in the cold
Chorus:
So tell me how could I complain
Lord tell me how could i complain
You wouldn't know joy if you didn't have pain
I've seen a light I can't explain
How could I complain
Verse Two:
So piece together woes and broken pictures
And burn them in the mornings brand new flame
I've been moving since we broke the radiator
So tell me how could I complain
Chorus:
So tell me how could I complain
Lord tell me how could I complain
You wouldn't know joy if you didn't have pain
I've seen a light I can't explain
How could I complain
Well I have seen a summer in the spring time
I've kissed the girls that stayed out in the rain
I can count a good man as a friend of mine
So how could I complain
There were times I longed for romance
While a normal life took hold
I've not yet seen a death yet in my family
And I've been offered coffee in the cold
Chorus:
So tell me how could I complain
Lord tell me how could i complain
You wouldn't know joy if you didn't have pain
I've seen a light I can't explain
How could I complain
Verse Two:
So piece together woes and broken pictures
And burn them in the mornings brand new flame
I've been moving since we broke the radiator
So tell me how could I complain
Chorus:
So tell me how could I complain
Lord tell me how could I complain
You wouldn't know joy if you didn't have pain
I've seen a light I can't explain
How could I complain
