SHE CRIES INSIDE

She slowly wakes each morning, tired and alone
A widow cast by fate with children who have grown
She tries to form a smile knowing they?re not home
Lord knows she tries
She calmly serves up coffee at a local roadside inn
Taking care of patrons, she sparkles with a grin
Absorbing all her sorrow, she hides it deep within
Lord knows she tries
But she cries ? no tears in her eyes
A steady stream of moisture she?s trying to disguise
She cries, she cries inside
She softly wipes down tables and cleans the breakfast bar
Earning precious coins, she stores them in a jar
Saving for the grandkids, she wonders how they are
Lord knows she tries
But she cries ? no tears in her eyes
A steady stream of moisture she?s trying to disguise
She cries, she cries inside
She gently lights a candle, her soul begins to shine
She stirs up golden memories over dinner and some wine
She holds a quiet moment reminiscing back in time
Lord knows she tries
She pours herself a nightcap and glances to the sky
She takes a sip of courage, and begs to wonder why
A lady who needs comfort holds back the urge to cry
As the moonlight breaks the silence, she wanders down the hall
A single silhouette ? a lonely shadow on the wall
She fades into the mist of a hidden waterfall
Lord knows she tries
She cries ? no tears in her eyes
A steady stream of moisture she?s trying to disguise
She cries, she cries inside
Oh, she cries ? don?t let her smile fool ya
Like a dam impedes the water, her strength is holding tight
She cries, she cries inside
