River of Tears

I cried a river of tears, nobody saw them fall
Cried a river of tears, kept them private that’s all
You slipped off without a sound
I know you’re walking on sacred ground
I cried a river of tears
Remembering all those years

I cried a river of tears, you took me as I was
Cried a river of tears, I loved you just because
I know you’re in Paradise
At times I still reach for you at night
I cried a river of tears
Remembering all those years

I cried a river of tears, at the preacher’s final words
Cried a river of tears, weren’t seen or heard
You were my golden child
Someday we’ll walk together in the sweet bye and bye
I cried a river of tears
Remembering all those years
