I Sat By The River.

I sat by the river, my heart exposed, Thinking 'bout the love that we once had, You took your heart and just walked away, Left me alone like an empty seat on a train. The nights are colder without your love, I'm lost in this town reaching for memories, But they just fade away, like whispers in the dark. I cried for you, baby, oh can’t you see, Every tear I’ve shed is a moment you took from me. I cried for you, baby, where are you tonight? We danced in the shadows, shared dreams in the night, But now the roads are lonely, and the stars don’t shine bright. I listen for your laughter in our old favorite song, The whiskey tastes bitter, it feels so wrong. Each sip reminds me of a love I can’t forget, Your absence haunts me, it's a hurt I regret. I cried for you, baby, oh can’t you see, Every tear I’ve shed is a moment you took from me. I cried for you, baby, where are you tonight? Wishing for a sign, just a glimpse of hope, A letter, a word, just a way to cope. I’d give anything just to hear you say, “I cried for you too at the end of the day.” The river keeps flowing, just like our dreams, Time pulls us apart, like old faded seams. But every sunset reminds me of you, The warmth in my heart, it still rings true. I look to the stars, tracing our past, In the silence of night, I wish this would last. I cried for you, baby, oh can’t you see, Every tear I’ve shed is a moment you took from me. I cried for you, baby, where are you tonight? So I’ll sit by the river, my heart still exposed, Hoping someday you’ll find your way back home. With every tear that falls and every single sigh, I cried for you, baby, please don’t say goodbye.
