Someday you'll call my name and I won't be there
To grant your ev'ry wish and try to fill each dream
When each seed of hurt you've sown has grown on heartache vine
I can't dry your tears when I won't hear you cryin'
I can't hear you cry ten thousand miles away
I don't want to go but I can't stand to stay
And see you all alone when friends are hard to find
No, I can't dry your tears when I won't hear you cryin'
You may not miss me now your crowd's not gone yet
When they're all gone you'll see just what I mean
Fate has a place for you prepared by Father Time
And I can't dry your tears when I won't hear you cryin'
No, I can't dry your tears dear I won't hear you cryin'
