Lyrics
Oh somewhere the music’s playing soft and low
And a stranger holds the one that I love so
I was blind I could not see that you meant the world to me
But like a fool I stood and watched you go
Now I’m crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
For I’m crying my heart out over you
Each night I climb the stairs up to my room
It seems I hear you whisper in the gloom
I miss your picture on the wall and your footsteps in the hall
While I’m crying my heart out over youDemo Videos
