Lyrics
I Cry ( Update 01-28-07(c) Joanne Tramonte copyright 3-19-06( joannet123@bellsouth.net) Update 6-16-07/Paul WIlson
The tears come in buckets.
The tears come in waves.
My heart dried up in an early grave.
The pain it comes. The pain it goes.
The ache it stays, and grows and grows.
CHORUS:
I cry and feel empty, that's what I do.
I cry and feel empty, tryin' to get over you.
My chest turned hollow, there's a big vacant space,
Longing for memories that I can't replace.
Since you left me, I'm filled with pain
Carin' for a man I cannot obtain.
After three years you changed your mind
Leaving me without knowin' why.
Chorus
I cry in the morning, wishin' you were here.
I cry in the evenin', wantin' you near.
I lay on the floor and vent my grief.
I drive my car and weep and weep.
I pray for a new light, to heal my tears
I pray for strength to calm my fears. -LIFT
I cry and I hope for a new
When the wound in my heart will fade away.
Chorus
