Who knew love would come walking through my door
And turn a light on somewhere down inside?
It gave me a feeling I'd never had before.
It was a long wait and it was just the wrong time.
I hope you'll hold me now, somewhere within.
And when you think about what might have been,

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.
How do you argue with a feeling in your bones
About what is and what isn't meant to be?
Some things you live with
And you never let it show.
Like the pain I felt the day I watched you leave.
And I hope you'll think of me when tender winds blow.
Sit on the shores of love and just let it go.
Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.
Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.
