Lyrics
Now You Cry (R, Frank, 2005)
You stand by the lake?s edge- it?s reflecting your life
You can?t believe where you are
Silently hoping that your wife is still here
You don?t know that she died
She brought you back the time your heart nearly stopped
She prayed for you every night
Your first good steps took you straight out the door
And into another life
Are you sorry you couldn?t decide in time to give her love a fresh try?
She was proposing a new lease on life
But you let it slip through your hands
Now you cry- now you cry
Now you cry- now you cry
Shards of the past rip right into your soul
Your son and daughter deny your very existence- no part of their lives
Without you, they survived
Are you sorry you couldn?t decide in time to give their love a fresh try?
They were proposing a new lease on life
But you let it slip through your hands
Now you cry- now you cry
Now you cry- now you cry
