Barbara Songs You Can't Sing for Crying (158* d) Lyr Add: I CRIED (Ruth Pelham) 24 Jan 10


Various songs in the moment do it to me. Sang "How can I keep from Singing" at Mom's services this summer; but trying to sing Here is My Home this NYs at Harmony really wiped me out.
Here's another that often gets me.


I CRIED
by Ruth Pelham

TToday was real tough, I got out of bed,
I cuddled with my teddy bear and then laid down my head
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

I said, "I won't wear those shoes and I won't wear those socks,
And I won't go to school if I can't bring my new rocks,
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

Breakfast was a real scene. I would not eat my eggs,
I got jam in my hair and I spilled juice all down my legs,
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

School was no better. My best friend was sick.
I got gum all on my homework. In gym I got kicked,
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

Came home after school. Fresh muffins on the plate.
Daddy poured me a glass of milk and hugged me warm and tight,
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

My dad said, "What is wrong?" and this is what I said:
"I wish that you and Mom would live together again,"
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.

"Your mom and I are good friends, no longer husband and wife,
But we will always love you, we'll love you all our lives,"
And then we cried, cried, cried cried.

Today was real tough. I got ready for bed.
I combed my hair and brushed my teeth and put the pillow over my head,
And then I cried, cried, cried cried.
(gradually slower) cried, cried, cried... cri... (soft snore).
