CRY
FROM THE HEART
(Robert J. Purvis)
Haven't
seen you in years
Now you're back in my life
Such a long time ago even out in the rain
Come inside where it's dry
You've been losing the game
You've been feeling the pain
Having more than your share of sadness to spare
And it shows in your eyes
With a cry from the heart
You call out my name
Never felt so much love, emotional pain
But I won't let you down
I can't see you fall
I'll be here, when you need me, just call
Seems a lifetime away
All those innocent years
Just a couple of kids with no hang-ups or cares
Finding out about love
But you can't hold back time
It will change everyday
It's all different somehow
Though I still love you now
Sad in the same way
With a cry from the heart
A voice in the night
Never felt so much love
Never been held so tight
Though I can't give it all
I'll put on a show
I'm holding back, but you'll never know
[guitar solo]
With a cry from the heart
You call out my name
Never felt so much love, emotional pain
But I can't let you down
I won't see you fall
I'll be here, when you need me, just call
With a cry from the heart
A voice in the night
Never felt so much love
Never been held so tight
Though I can't give it all
I'll put on a show
I'm holding back, but you'll never know
[repeat verse 1].
