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 criedI tried Tears of joy tears of pain I criedI 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 criedI tried Tears of joy tears of pain I criedI cried Tears of love again and again I criedI tried Tears of joy tears of pain I criedI 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 criedI tried Tears of joy tears of pain I criedI cried Tears of love again and again I criedI tried Tears of joy tears of pain I criedI cried Tears of love again and again
