I Cried for You lyrics

You're beautiful so silently

It lies beneath a shade of blue

It struck me so violently

When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause,

To feel that magic in your hand

To me you're like a wild rose

They never understand why

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,

With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget

This love of ours or that we met,

They may not know

how much you meant to me.

I cried for you

And the sky cried for you,

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see,

How fragile the world can be

And I know you've gone away

But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you

And the sky cried for you,

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper

That beauty need only be a whisper
