Lyrics

The Cross That I Must Bear

Verse: ONE COLD DECEMBER MORNING,
OUR LOVE SLIPPED AWAY
FOUR MONTHS OF FIGHTING
ENDED CHRISTMAS DAY
I THOUGHT I?D FIND MYSELF
OUT HERE ON THE ROAD
BUT NOW I FIND MYSELF
WISHING I WAS HOME

Chorus: ?CAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU?RE NOT THERE
BUT THIS, THIS IS MY BURDEN,
THE CROSS I MUST BEAR

Verse: NO MATTER WHERE I GO,
YOU ARE THERE WITH ME
FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO,
TO THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE
THE MILES GO BY SO SLOWLY,
?CAUSE I SPEND THEM ON MY KNEES
PRAYING TO GOD
TO SET MY HEART AT EASE

Chorus: ?CAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU?RE NOT THERE
BUT THIS, THIS IS MY BURDEN,
THE CROSS I MUST BEAR

Bridge: I FINALY FOUND SOME PEACE IN THE SOLITUDE
I FOUND OUT HOW TO SLEEP, GOT A BRAND NEW ATTITUDE.
OH I AM NEVER LONELY, THOUGH I?M AWAYS ALONE
IN THE CALIFORNIA BREEZE, YOU?RE IN THE ARIZONA DAWN

Chorus: ?CAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU?RE NOT THERE
BUT THIS, THIS IS MY BURDEN,
THE CROSS I MUST BEAR

Tag: THAT I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH YOU?RE NOT THERE
BUT THIS, THIS IS MY BURDEN
THE CROSS, THE CROSS THAT I MUST BEAR
