Crying My Heart Out Over You
Daniel O'Donnell · Heartbreakers [2000]
Off somewhere the music's playing soft and low
And another holds the one that I love so
I was blind, I could not see that you meant the world to me
And like a fool I stood and watched you go.
Now, I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
While I'm crying my heart out over you.
--- Instrumental ---
Each night I climb the stairs up to my room
I feel I hear you whisper in the gloom
I miss your picture on the wall and your footsteps in the hall
While I'm crying my heart out over you.
Now, I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
While I'm crying my heart out over you...
