Story Behind The Song
It is a timeless story,
Two young lovers, in the prime of life,
suddenly, one is taken ill, and passes
and the one left behind grieves
and always holds their memory
and it feels like all their heart can do is cry.

Lyrics
I look into the mirror. Oh, what did I see?
A young heart with an old face staring back at me
I began to wonder 'bout all my years gone by
I start to think of you. All my heart can do is cry.
All my heart can do is cry, cry, cry
All my heart can do is cry.
Well there was a time we had it going on
Singing and dancing, making love till the break of dawn
The time came for you to go. Your soul began to fly
Now when I think of you all my heart can do is cry
All my heart can do is cry, cry, cry
All my heart can do is cry
Back when we were young, careless and free
Your good heart really took a hold of me
We wanted more in life than to just get by
The time came for you to go. Now all my heart can do is cry
All my heart can do is cry, cry, cry
All my heart can do is cry
All my heart can do is cry, cry, cry
All my heart can do is cry.
Well, there was a time we had it going on
Singing anddancing, making love till the break of dawm
