Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
My mother often told me, angels bonded your life away She said I would accomplish, but trust in God and pray I'm on the King's Highway, I'm travelin' everyday
'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
My mother, she's in glory, thank God I'm on my way Father, he's gone too, and sister she could not stay I'm trusting Him everyday, to bear my burdens away
'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
I thought when she first left me, I'd pray4 for a little while Soon it all would be over, and I'd journey on with a smile But the thought as I get older, I think of what I told her
And I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
