Valerie,Through The Years from 1986 and replayed in 1990)
Life is such a sweet insanity
The more you learn the less you know
In the heart of every family
There's a love that starts by letting go

Step by step and day by day
Reaching out upon the way
Hand at hand we face our fears
Together through the years

We get closer
through happiness and tears
And in our hearts we share
The laughter and the sadness
A special kind of madness
Gathered through the years

Life is such a sweet insanity
It's nice to know your friends are near
In the heart of every family
There's a love that's waiting there for you...
Through the years

The Hogan Family(1987-1990)
All the lyrics are same except verse #3
We get closer
And happy as can be
And in our hearts we share
the laughter and the sadness
A special kind of madness
Gathered through the years

Here are the real lyrics as used throughout the entire run.


Life is such a sweet insanity
The more you learn the less you know
In the heart of every family
There's a love that starts by letting go

Step by step and day by day
Reaching out along the way
Hand in hand we face our fears
Together through the years

We get closer
Through happiness and tears
And in our hearts we share
The laughter and the sadness
A special kind of madness
Together through the years

Life is such a sweet insanity
Its nice to know your friends are near
In the heart of every family
Theres a love thats waiting there for you
Through the years
