I Cried Again

I Cried Again - Jim Eanes/Earl Scruggs

Teardrops fell the night you said

I love you dear and you were wed

I watched you while you held his hand

I turned away and cried again

I cried again when I reached home

There set your picture all alone

I thought of things that might have been

And bowed my head and cried again

I took your letters from the shelf

And read them aloud just to myself

And just before I reached the end

I bowed my head and cried again

I cried again when I reached home

There set your picture all alone

I thought of things that might have been

And bowed my head and cried again

I thought of love I'd been denied

And how to hold it I had tried

And of dreams that we had shared

And days gone by when you have cared

And here's the reason why I say

I must throw your things away

For they would always bring me pain

And then I'd only cry again
