My Heart Is Crying

Well I was walking through the alleys
On a cold and lonely night.
I was searching for a girl named Maria
Her eyes were exciting
Like diamonds of blue,
Her ruby-red lips like a rose in the dew.

So I went to every bar,
To drink a beer and play guitar.
And though it might hurt,
I sang me these words.

My heart is crying
Crying for you.
I want you near to be mine
Let me take you in my arms
While you kiss me with your charms
Till the morning light
Has opened up your eyes.

My heart is crying
Crying for you.
I want you near to be mine
Let me take you in my arms
While you kiss me with your charms
Until the break of day
All dreams must fade away.

Well I knocked about the city
My mind set on you
And I couldn't reveal
I was aching
My fingers where clenching
Yeah, your golden ring.

Then I heard the words
That we once used to sing
So I went into that bar
There you were just playing guitar
My heart skipped a beat
Then we sang again.

My heart is crying
Crying for you.
I want you near to be mine
Let me take you in my arms
While you kiss me with your charms
Till the morning light
Has opened up your eyes.

My heart is crying
Crying for you.
I want you near to be mine
Let me take you in my arms
While you kiss me with your charms
Until the break of day
All dreams must fade away.
