Lyrics:

One day I met a precious soul

Who's words had touched my heart

His poetry resounded so

It tone my soul apart

But when I tried my thoughts to speak

Emotion made my mind so weak

And time stood still for years and years

I bathed him in my tears


I cried, I tried

Tears of joy tears of pain

I cried, I cried

Tears of love again and again


Some people turn to pills and things

To help them throught the day

To take them up or down or just

To ease the blues away

But me I really want to feel

The ups and downs of life so real

Happy or sad emotions reign

My tears flow just the same


I cried, I tried

Tears of joy tears of pain

I cried, I cried

Tears of love again and again


I cried, I tried

Tears of joy tears of pain

I cried, I cried

Tears of love again and again


Gonna turn so completely I leave no trace

Through so many out there would laugh in my face

For wearing emotion so close to the skin

Condamn me they might it to love's such a sin


I cried, I tried

Tears of joy tears of pain

I cried, I cried

Tears of love again and again


I cried, I tried

Tears of joy tears of pain

I cried, I cried

Tears of love again and again
