Cowboys Dont Cry
I guess I could feel it
The moment that plane left the ground
Things were changing and
There was nothing I could do
Waiting, impatient like a child
Haunted by old memories
Under that hat, was the face of the man
I always knew him to be
Seeing him again, after all these years
Frightened me so
I was reminded how much
He had once, meant to me
But you cant make someone love you
No matter how hard you wish
I knew he would break my heart
So I left him standing there in the night
With a tear in his eye.......
So don’t tell me cowboys don’t cry
I couldn’t take my eyes Off
his rough and calloused hands
My mind tried to imagine
All he’d been through
Life had been rough
it was written in the lines on his face
You could almost see
His heart there on his sleeve
I could feel me falling
Like I had so long ago
The girl in me was
Dreaming of kissing him again
But you can’t make someone love you
No matter how hard you wish
I knew he’d break my heart
So I left him there in the night
With a tear in his eye...
So don’t tell me cowboys don’t cry
I wanted to run but my feet wouldn’t move
I just had to turn back
to wipe that tear from his eye
then I kissed him goodbye
So don’t tell me ....cowboys don’t cry
