Lyrics

Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Cryin' Sometimes

Verse One:
My Grandma often told me,
"Angels bonded your life away."
She said I would accomplish
But to trust in God and pray
I'm on the King's Highway
Traveling every day
Yet I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Chorus:
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my hearts' filled with sorrow
And my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Verse Two:
Grandma she's in Glory
Thank God I'm on my way yeah
My Father, he's gone too
And my family could not stay
I'm trustin' in him everyday
Well, to bear my burdens away
Yet I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Chorus:
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my hearts' filled with sorrow
And my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Verse Three:
I thought when my baby left me
I'd pray for a little while
Soon it would all be over
And we'd journey on with a smile
I've never lost my hope
I think about what's been told
Yet I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

Chorus:
Well, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my hearts' filled with sorrow
And my eyes are filled with tears
Lord I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
When my hearts' filled with sorrow
And my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'
Sometimes....
