Lyrics
You Could Cry pw
Chorus:
You could cry through the night
With one tear in your eye.
Love's a word, lost a tear, wet your eye.
If you sleep, near a breeze,
Winds will blow past your eyes.
And you know gentle breezes make you cry.
For once upon a windy hill,
You shook your questions down.
I wanted you, you wanted me,
We tumbled to the ground.
The earth was wet neath new grown grass,
The breezes touched us round.
And there upon forgotten leaves,
Our love the only sound.
Chorus:
Now winds will blow, tears come and go,
The days are passing by,
I think of you, you think of me, and often wonder why,
We both have come to realize, our tears are just a lie,
Tear memories are just passing things,
Spring breezes wisp them dry.
Chorus:
