Lyrics

My Heart Cries

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was lost in the world of dreams

Counting every star

Shining overhead it seems

I was like a shepherd boy

Searching for his lamb

Here and there and everywhere

You came, whoa yeah, you captured me

You and all your charms

Oh yes, you set me free

We kissed and the world was ours alone

And my heart cried

Oh, I love you so

Then my heart cried

Oh, I love you so

Then my heart cried

Oh, I love you so

Love you so

Love you so
