Lover You Don't Have To Cry

Music and Lyrics by Dougie MacLean

I’ve got to tell you
And this seems the easy way
To say the things
I’ll find so hard to say
When I’ve got to go away

I’ve got this feeling
It's something really good
And I need to show
That I want to let it grow
And I want you to know

CHORUS
Lover you don’t have to cry
And time is just a passing cloud
And it move across the sky
And when I want to think of you
I don’t need no reasons why
Lover you don’t have to cry

I was so tired
And I thought that I might fall
And I just can’t say
How I came to be that way
How I came to be that way

You gave me something
That I did not know was there
It made me smile
When I was edging on despair
And I could not even care
CHORUS

And in this moment
When I’m so far way
It’s another show
I’d like to turn around and go
But I just can’t say no
And I’ve got to tell you
And it seems the easy way
To say the things
I’ll find so hard to say
When I’ve got to go away
CHORUS
