When i first met you
you were so young
eyes of almond brown
and hair so plainly done
through your tears and misery
i stood by your side
then it came my time to cry
you pulled away like the tide

i'm sorry 
you've got to cry
cry alone

now that night has fallen
who's falling for you?
now that the stars are calling
what's calling on you?
you are an angel
who does not want her wings
there ain't nothin' for me to do
but gently sing

i'm sorry
you've got to cry
cry alone

and i can't reign the night for you
i can't shine the light
close your empty hand
i wont be your man

i'm sorry
you've got to cry
cry alone

i guess i'll tell you the truth
i guess i owe ya that much
i found me another
in the absence of your touch
she's got eyes of hazel
and love that's so true
i'm not saying that i love her
but i love her more than you

i'm sorry
you've got to cry
cry alone

and i can't reign the night for you
i can't shine the light
close your empty hand
i wont be your man

i'm sorry
you've got to cry
cry alone

i'm sorry
you've got to cry
cry alone
