Brandy Clark - I Cried lyrics

He was tough, said he'd lived a good long life AAd he'd seen it all, watching 82 years fly by And three kids grow up Seen 'em all have kids and grandkids of their own He was brave If he was scared, well, you couldn't see it on his face Like a soldier he marched through his numbered days Made his peace with God and he was gone I cried, oh I cried Tried to hold my head high, ended up in my hands I cried, oh I cried There was nothing I could do, so that was all I could do She was strong Held his hand when he was barely holding on She told him, "Don't worry about me, I'll get along You go on to Heaven. Go on, yes." Now she's alone, livin' the life that's too much for one Just last night on the telephone I could hear the lonelyin her voice I cried. Oh I cried Tried to hold my head high, ended up in my hands I cried, oh I cried There was nothing I could do, so that was all I could do I cried, oh I cried Tried to hold my head high, ended up in my hands I cried, oh I cried There was nothing I could do, so that was all I could do Oh, there was nothing I could do, so I cried
