Crying Steel Guitar

(Billy Sherrill - Carmol Taylor)



I'm not surprised to find you here

In this old dim lit world

I'll bet you've held a thousand

Poor broken-hearted girls.



You sound so sad you must have had

Your share of misery

But you're just a crying steel guitar

So cry again for me.



'Cause while you're crying

His mem'ry's dying

There's a special kind of sigh in

The lonely way you cry.



You express my feelings

And my tears no one will see

So let you call blue lonely strings

Cry once again for me.



I'll be here at this table

Again tomorrow night

Each time that I'm close to you

I know I'll be all right.



I loved him more than anything

But it's over I can see

If you don't mind please steel guitar

Cry much again for me.



'Cause while you're crying

His mem'ry's dying

There's a special kind of sigh in

The lonely way you cry...
