I COULDN'T KEEP FROM CRYING
Marty Robbins

Marty Robbins   rec 1952


Saw you walkin' by his side,
Heard you whisper both those lies,
And I couldn't keep from cryin'!
You sang his love songs tenderly,
Just the way you sang to me,
And I couldn't keep from cryin'!

Saw you capture all his charms
As you nestled in his arms;
With his pretty words and ways,
In your heart he took my place.

I stood and watched him steal a kiss
>From two lips I know I'll miss,
And I couldn't keep from cryin'!

Saw you capture all his charms
As you nestled in his arms;
With his pretty words and ways,
In your heart he took my place.

I stood and watched him steal a kiss
>From two lips I know I'll miss,
And I couldn't keep from cryin'!
