I keep on runnin' baby, I keep on runnin'
  But I just can't hide, no, I just can't hide
  I keep on hurtin' baby, I keep on hurtin' so deep inside
  So deep inside
  
  Lord, I need your smile child, like the one I once knew
  Made my grass green and my blue skies blue
  Lord, was time when two was one
  Tell me now girl where've all the good times gone
  
  Cry me a river, wash my blues all away
  Cry me a river, girl you is my riverboat
  Take me away is reachin' out my hand
  Won't ya please help me to my feet once again
  Tears fallin' like rain
  Lord it's a time when everybody needs a friend
  Girl where've you been
  
  Lord, I need your smile child like the one I once knew
  Made my grass green and my blue skies blue
  Lord was a time when two was one
  Where've all the good times gone
  
  Cry me a river, wash my blues all away
  Cry me a river, girl you is my riverboat
  Take me away
