I Cried

歌詞

He was tough Said he'd lived a good long life, and he'd seen a lot Watched eighty-two years fly by and three kids grow up Seen 'em all have kids and grandkids of their own He was brave He was scared to die, well, you couldn't see it on his face Like a soldier he marched through his numbered days Made his peace with God, and then he was gone And I cried Oh, I cried I tried to hold my head high It ended up in my hands And I cried Oh, I cried There was nothing I could do So that was all I could do She was strong Held his hand when he was barely holdin' on She told him, "Don't worry 'bout me, I'll get along You go on to Heaven; go on and rest" Now she's alone Livin' the life that's too much for one Just last night on the telephone I could hear the lonely in her laugh And I cried Oh, I cried Tried to hold my head high Ended up in my hands I cried Oh, I cried There was nothing I could do So that was all I could do I cried Oh, I cried Tried to hold my head high It ended up in my hands I cried Oh, I cried There was nothing I could do So that was all I could do Oh, there was nothing I could do So I cried
