Lyrics
WHEN LOVERS CRY
By Patricia T. Bishop & Travis Watson ©2006
She‘s sitting by the window
Blindly staring out
A tear falls as she wonders
What’s her life now about?
Where did she go wrong?
What happened to her happy home?
He’s sitting at the table
Drinking another beer
A tear falls as he wonders
What’s he doing here?
He feels so alone
Is this place where he belongs?
Chorus
When lovers cry and wonder why
Could it be their love is dying?
When lovers cry and wonder why
Could starting over be worth trying?
They’re thinking of the days when
The sky was baby blue
Flowers in the garden
Sun was always shinning through
Children in the backyard
Laughing loud and playing hard
The kids have moved away now
Empty nest settled in
Searching for that common ground
Can they find it again
They both begin to grin
He looks at her; she looks at him
Repeat chorus (2x)
