Just Let Me Cry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, stars on high, why can't I make you see?
That I don't want your light to shine on me
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah

[Verse 2]
Don't let me hear the robins sing above
What good's their song if I've no one to love?
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah

[Bridge]
Hide every lovely flower from my sight
Don't let that dreamy moon come out, oh, tonight

[Verse 3]
And please don't let me see two lovers kiss (Two lovers kiss)
Don't let me be reminded, what I miss (What I miss)
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah

[Outro (Fade)]
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah
Just let me cry
Just let me cry
Just let me cry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
