God Only Cries....

[WaltC]

I just listenend to a recent release by Diamond Rio called God Only Cries

It relates how our loved one's are now free from pain and it's those of us still living that need the tears. Here's an attempt at the lyrics:

God Only Cries - Diamond Rio

On an icy road one night,

A young man loses his life.

They marked the shoulder with a cross.

And his family gathers round,

On a piece of Hallowed ground.

Their hearts are heavy with their loss.

As the tears fall from their eyes

There's one who'll always sympathize

God only cries for the living.

'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on.

And all the angels up in Heaven,

They're not grieving because they're gone.

There's a smile on their faces

'Cause they're in a better place there

Mmm, baby, they know, oh

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are so far from home

It still makes me sad

When I think of my Granddad.

I miss him each and every day.

But I know the time will come

When my own grandson

Wonders why I went away.

Maybe we're not meant to understand

'Til we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living.

'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on.

And all the angels up in Heaven

They're not grieving because they're gone.

There's a smile on their faces

'Cause they're in a better place there

Oh, baby, they know, oh

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are so far from home

Yeah, we're so far from home

Mmmmm, mmmm

I can't find a good link to the music yet, but I find the words to be comforting.

Another new favorite of mine! I listened to Country music only a little before Tom died. He was always trying to get me to listen to more of it. For some reason, now I find myself listening more often. Just another of those strange coincidences?

WaltC,

The lyrics are beautiful. Have you heard the song by Brad paisely and Dolly Parton "When I get where I'm goin" That song has come on a few times after my husband died and it touches me everytime. Thanks for sharing that beautiful song.

Thanks for reminding me of that song:

When I get where I'm Going

So sorry about the death of your husband!

First of all great to see you post again!! Have missed seeing you. I have heard that song several times since Karen died and it brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. There is another song that hits me between the eyes, I believe the title is something like I will love you like there is no tomorrow or something like that. I never heard the begining of the song until after Karen died and the first few lines talk about the singer leaving a friends house after the service and that his love was taken to soon and it got him to thinking that it could have been him losing her. The first time I heard those words and I thought, that is me. I found out that we aren't guaruteed tomorrow and that is so real to me these days. Anyway, great to see your getting around Walt.

Derek, I, too, have heard that song, "I will love you like there is no tomorrow" and it brought comfort to me for if anyone else learns something from our tragedies, well, at least that is something good.

Hi Derek,

Thank you so very much for the title of another beautiful song. I will need to listen to it as it does comfort me from all the bad things that have happened Take care and God Bless You Shelley
