My Soul Cries Softly

Nobody Sees the tears I hide. I keep my sorrow deep inside. I smile when people ask me why. But there's a storm behind these eyes. When midnight falls and lights grow low, That's when the old memories Show. Oh, my soul cries softly When nobody's around. It whispers your name Without making a sound. I can hide my tears. I can say I'm all right. But my heart still breaks. In the middle of the night, the world hears Silence. But my soul cries softly. I wear my pain like an old coat. Carry every word you wrote. That old guitar knows every scar, And sings the truth of who we are. I learned to laugh. I learned to smile. But I've been hurting all the while. My soul cries softly When nobody's around. It whispers your name Without making a sound. I can hide my tears. I can say I'm all right. But my heart still breaks. In the middle of the night, the world hears Silence. But my soul cries softly. Some pain don't need a voice. Some hearts don't get a choice. You can hide a tear from every eye, But you can't fool the soul inside. My soul cries softly Through the darkness and rain. I've learned to live with the memory. I've learned to carry the pain. Maybe someday I'll be free. Maybe the blues will set me free. Until that morning comes to me, My soul cries softly. No one hears it. No one knows. But deep inside, My soul still Cries.
