i cry
by barlow/rhodes

One day I met a precious soul
Who's words had touched my heart
His poetry resounded so
It tone my soul apart
But when I tried my thoughts to speak
Emotion made my mind so weak
And time stood still for years and years
I bathed him in my tears

I cried, I tried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

Some people turn to pills and things
To help them throught the day
To take them up or down or just
To ease the blues away
But me I really want to feel
The ups and downs of life so real
Happy or sad emotions reign
My tears flow just the same

I cried, I tried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

I cried, I tried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

Gonna turn so completely I leave no trace
Through so many out there would laugh in my face
For wearing emotion so close to the skin
Condamn me they might it to love's such a sin

I cried, I tried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

I cried, I tried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again
