I keep on runnin', baby
I keep on runnin'
But I just can't hide
No, I just can't hide
I keep on hurtin', baby
I keep on hurtin' so deep inside
So deep inside
Lord, I need your smile
Child like the one I once knew
Made my grass green
And my blue skies blue
Lord was time when 2 was 1
Tell me now girl
Where've all the good times gone?
Cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
Cry me a river
Girl, you is my riverboat
Take me away
Is reachin' out my hand
Won't ya, please, help me to my feet once again?
Tears fallin' like rain
Lord, it's a time
When everybody needs a friend
Girl, where've you been?
Lord, I need your smile
Child like the one I once knew
Made my grass green
And my blue skies blue
Lord, was a time when 2 was 1
Where've all the good times gone?
Cry me a river
Wash my blues all away
Cry me a river
Girl, you is my riverboat
Take me away
