[Verse 1]
Who knew love would come walking through my door
Turn a light on somewhere down inside?
And give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait, it was just the wrong time
But I hope you'll hold me now, somewhere within
And when you think about what might have been

[Chorus]
Cry a river, flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter with the sweet
And cry a river over me

[Verse 2]
And 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 nevеr let it show
Like the pain I fеlt 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

[Chorus]
Cry a river, flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter with the sweet
And cry a river over me
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
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
