Don’t Cry Too Long Songtext
von Jory Pine

When my time comes
Remember the love, not the leaving

I have had my share of mornings, I have had my share of rain
I have held on when it hurt me, I have smiled through the pain
I am not scared of going, I just hate to say goodbye
So if you see me fading, look me steady in the eyes

Don′t cry too long when I am gone
Do not let this hurt be the only thing I leave you on
Sing the songs I love, say my name sometimes
Hold each other close and keep your hearts kind
I will not be far from where love still lives on
Miss me if you need to
But do not cry too long

Tell the ones I failed, I carried that with me
Tell the ones I loved, they were everything to me
I hope the good I gave outlives the wrong I did
And if grace is really real, I will be forgiven


Don't cry too long when I am gone
Do not let this hurt be the only thing I leave you on
Sing the songs I love, say my name sometimes
Hold each other close and keep your hearts kind
I will not be far from where love still lives on
Miss me if you need to
But do not cry too long

I do not need a stone to prove that I was here
Just love somebody better when my name brings a tear
Let the children laugh, let the old story stay
And when the evening gets heavy
Let a little music play

Don′t cry too long when I am gone
Do not let this hurt be the only thing I leave you on
Sing the songs I love, say my name sometimes
Hold each other close, and keep your hearts kind
I will not be far from where love still lives on
Miss me if you need to
But do not cry too long

When my time comes
Remember the love, not the leaving
