One day I met a precious soul
  Who's words had touched my heart
  His poetry resounded so
  It tore my soul apart
  But when I tried my thoughts to speak
  Emotion made my mind so weak
  And time stood still for years and years
  I bathed him in my tears
  
  I cried, I tried
  Tears of joy tears of pain
  I cried, I cried
  Tears of love again and again
  
  Some people turn to pills and things
  To help them throught the day
  To take them up or down or just
  To ease the blues away
  But me I really want to feel
  The ups and downs of life so real
  Happy or sad emotions reign
  My tears flow just the same
  
  I cried, I tried
  Tears of joy tears of pain
  I cried, I cried
  Tears of love again and again
  
  I cried, I tried
  Tears of joy tears of pain
  I cried, I cried
  Tears of love again and again
  
  Gonna turn so completely I leave no trace
  Through so many out there would laugh in my face
  For wearing emotion so close to the skin
  Condamn me they might it to love's such a sin
  
  I cried, I tried
  Tears of joy tears of pain
  I cried, I cried
  Tears of love again and again
  
  I cried, I tried
  Tears of joy tears of pain
  I cried, I cried
  Tears of love again and again
