Going back to the memories
Reminiscing 'bout you and me
Thinking how it used to be
It's plain and clear I treated you bad
But, girl, you know that I care
Every relation have wear and tear
Just draw near girl and try to hear and listen
What my heart says
Many days and many nights
Many heartbreaks, many fights
Many wrongs but so many rights
So, girl, don't let this love die
Never meant to cause you no pain
Girl, I never meant to treat you lame
Gimme one more chance rewind come back again
Don't let this love die
Just cry baby cry
(Don't cry no more)
'Cause every tear that flows
Falls into the ocean
And rises to the sky
And then the rain will come
Right before the Sun shines
Can you feel me reaching out to you
Girl, can you hear my open thoughts
Never want to disrespect you
Girl, don't let this come break us apart
'Cause I know I would die without you
My girl, can you hear my broken heart
It's calling out to the good times
That we had back at the start
Baby
(Don't call me, baby)
You know I need you in my life daily
(You know you played me)
I was a player but now your love changed me
(Dead wrong)
I'm going crazy
(I'm gone)
Never thought losing you would be so hard
It's your turn to cry baby cry
(Don't cry no more)
'Cause every tear that flows
Falls into the ocean
And rises to the sky
And then the rain will come
Right before the Sun shines
So let go and move on
What we were is now undone
My tears have all dried
It's your turn now to cry
You're losing your love and your trust for me, girl
And you know, I would go to the ends of the world
If you wanted just like we started
Girl, 'cause I don't want to fight no more
Make it like it was before
I tell you the truth and you're caught in a crowd
Looking back to the place and that look in your eyes
Can you feel it inside, no clouds in your sky
The Sun is gonna shine
Chat to her, santana
It's your turn to cry, baby, cry
(Don't cry no more)
'Cause every tear that flows
Falls into the ocean
And rises to the sky
And then the rain will come
Right before the Sun shines
Just cry, baby, cry
'Cause every tear that flows
Falls into the ocean
And rises to the sky
And then the rain will come
Right before the Sun shines
Just cry, baby, cry
'Cause every tear that flows
Falls into the ocean
And rises to the sky
And then the rain will come
Right before the Sun shines
