I cried for you                                     

You’re beautiful so silently,

It lies beneath a shade of blue.

It struck me so violently,

When I looked at you.

But others pass, they never pause,

To feel that magic in your hand.

To me you’re like a wild rose,

They never understand, why.

I cried for you,

When the sky cried for you,

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper.

I’ll cross the sea for a different world,

With your treasure, a secret,

For me to hold.

In many years they may forget,

This love of ours or that we met,

They may not know

How much you ment to me.

I cried for you,

And the sky cried for you,

And when you went,

I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper.

Without you now I see,

How fragile the world can be.

And I know you’ve gone away,

But in my heart you’ll allways stay.

I cried for you,

When the sky cried for you.

And when you went,

I became a hopeless drifter,

But this life was not for you,

Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper;

That beauty need only be a whisper.
