Lyrics

I Cry for You Phillip Powell

Verse:
I remember, when time began
When we first, came by here
Back, so long ago
I can still, hear you whisper, in my ear

You were, so beautiful
In our dreams, our hearts would soar
Then we learned, these wicked ways
And began, loves confusing Joy

Chorus:
I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
And I cry when your love grows near

Break:

Verse:
Did angels, put us here
Did we cry, at heavens door
Did angels, have a snicker and a grin
Knowing what love was for

Now what have, they done to us
In this journey, of broken hearts
Will we suffer, on to the end
For loves confusing joy

Chorus:
I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you and you will never shed a tear
And I cry when your love grows near

Yes I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
But I cry a single holy tear

Short Break:

Yes I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
But I cry a holy river of tears
