Who knew love would come walking through my door
And turn a light on somewhere down inside?
It gave me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait and it was just the wrong time
I hope you'll hold me now, somewhere within
And when you think about what might have been

Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me

How do you argue with a feeling in your bones
About what is and what isn't meant to be?
Some things you live with
And you never let it show
Like the pain I felt the day I watched you leave
And I hope you'll think of me when tender winds blow
Sit on the shores of love and just let it go

Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me
Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me

Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me
