I Can't Cry Him Away

(Neal Merritt)



Every jukebox that I see holds a memory for me

And I cry along with every tune I play

My radio is always on I know the words to every song

But I still can't seem to cry him away.



I keep asking myself why can I just lay down and die

I don't really think there's any other way

I go through my lonely room and I cry there in the gloom

But I still can't seem to cry him away.



I can't cry him away

I see him everywhere

Though the pillow here beside me is empty

His memory is there.



I sometimes wake up with the dawn and my radio is on

And I didn't even hear the tunes they play

So I turn it way up high so no one can hear me cry

For I know I'll never cry him away.

I can't cry him away

I see him everywhere

Though the pillow here beside me is empty

His memory is there.



I go through my lonely room and I cry there in the gloom

But I still can't seem to cry him away...
