River Of Tears [Studio]
RIVER OF TEARS
PUT A QUARTER IN THE JUKEBOX PLAY A SONG FOR ME
I'M DOWN TO MY LAST DIME AND I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
PLAY ME A SONG OF A LOVE THAT'S STILL STRONG
AND NO ONE HAS TO CRY CAUSE SOMEBODY'S GONE
I'M GOING TO CRY ME A RIVER OF TEARS FOR YOU
WELL I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL START OR IF I'LL GET THROUGH
I'M GOING TO FLOOD THOSE OLE RIVER BANKS AND WHEN I DO
I'M GOING TO CROSS THAT RIVER BABY
THEN I'LL BE...I'LL BE OVER YOU
MOST OF MY LIFE I'VE LIVED TO BE WITH YOU
NOW YOU CALL ME UP ON THE PHONE YOU SAY WE'RE THROUGH
HOW CAN A MAN EVER HOPE TO WIN AT LOVE
WHEN YOU HOLD MY HEART IN YOUR HAND AND YOU GIVE UP
ONCE IN A WHILE A TRUE LOVE COMES ALONG
YOU REACH OUT YOUR ACHING HEART AND HOPE FOR SOMETHING
STRONG
ALL THROUGH OUR LIVES WE SEARCH FOR A POT OF GOLD
WHEN ALL THAT WE NEED IS SOMEONE TO HOLD
I'M GOING TO CRY ME A RIVER OF TEARS FOR YOU
WELL I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL START OR IF I'LL GET THROUGH
I'M GOING TO FLOOD THOSE OLE RIVER BANKS AND WHEN I DO
I'M GOING TO CROSS THAT RIVER BABY
THEN I'LL BE...I'LL BE OVER YOU
I'M GOING TO CROSS THAT RIVER DARLING
THEN I'LL BE...I'LL BE OVER YOU
