My Heart Is Crying

Well I was walking through the alleys

On a cold and lonely night.

I was searching for a girl named Maria

Her eyes were exciting

Like diamonds of blue,

Her ruby-red lips like a rose in the dew.

So I went to every bar,

To drink a beer and play guitar.

And though it might hurt,

I sang me these words.

My heart is crying

Crying for you.

I want you near to be mine

Let me take you in my arms

While you kiss me with your charms

Till the morning light

Has opened up your eyes.

My heart is crying

Crying for you.

I want you near to be mine

Let me take you in my arms

While you kiss me with your charms

Until the break of day

All dreams must fade away.

Well I knocked about the city

My mind set on you

And I couldn't reveal

I was aching

My fingers where clenching

Yeah, your golden ring.

Then I heard the words

That we once used to sing

So I went into that bar

There you were just playing guitar

My heart skipped a beat

Then we sang again.

My heart is crying

Crying for you.

I want you near to be mine

Let me take you in my arms

While you kiss me with your charms

Till the morning light

Has opened up your eyes.

My heart is crying

Crying for you.

I want you near to be mine

Let me take you in my arms

While you kiss me with your charms

Until the break of day

All dreams must fade away.
