[Verse 1]
Day by day
Someone we really love
Seems to feel the pain
We're always thinking of

But you know if only we were the men
That we're supposed to be
That wouldn't happen again

[Chorus]
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry today

I wish I could die
I wish I could die
I do wish I'd die away

[Verse 2]
Now I fear
We must accept the fact
That what happened here
Was simply a vicious act

And you know I just can't help wondering how
Long it will be before
Somebody else must bow
[Chorus]
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry today

I wish I could die
I wish I could die
I do wish I'd die away

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry
I wish I could cry today

I wish I could die
I wish I could die
I do wish I'd die away
