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
