 "I CRIED
A RIVER"
I CROSSED ON THE RIVER
THERE'LL BE NO RETURNING
I CROSSED ALL THE BRIDGES
I WATCHED THEM ALL BURNING

AND NOW I'M A STRANGER
IN THIS STRANGE LAND I'M LIVING
WHERE NOTHING'S FORGOTTEN
AND ALL IS FORGIVEN

BUT I CRIED A RIVER
A RIVER FOR HIM
THAT'S DEEPER AND WIDER THAN I'LL
EVER SWIM
THE HEART IT WILL HARDEN
THE SORROW WILL DIM
BUT I CRIED A RIVER
A RIVER FOR HIM

I THINK OF HIM NOW
ON THE ROAD I AM TAKING
AND I WONDER IF HE KNOWS
MY HEART IS STILL BREAKING

AND HE'LL NEVER KNOW
WHEN MY TEARDROPS ARE FALLING
OR HEAR THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
WHEN HIS NAME I AM CALLING

SO WEEP FOR THE SONS AND THE DEAR DARLING DAUGHTERS
OVER THE PASSING OF TIME
AND THE PARTING OF WATERS

FOR ALL WHO HAVE PASSED THROUGH THIS WORLD LONG BEFORE ME
TO A FAR DISTANT LAND
WHERE NO ONE WAITS FOR ME

BUT I CRIED A RIVER
A RIVER FOR HIM
THAT'S DEEPER AND WIDER
THAN I'LL EVER SWIM
THE HEART IT WILL HARDEN
THE SORROW WILL DIM
BUT I CRIED A RIVER
A RIVER FOR HIM
