No Time to Cry
Papermoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all I can say is "I love you"
I can tell by your smile, now I'm here it's getting better
I wish you could say what makes you feel blue
See the sunshine outside your window, and I know
The sorrow will fade away
It is no time to cry, so I ask you why do you cry 'bout yesterday
And you smile, though I see,
There is a sadness deep inside you
There's something you hide, I don't know why
If I could, I'll help you be just as happy as you used to,
And free from the pain that makes you feel blue
See the sunshine …
And I know if I could make you believe again in you,
My friend
You would show the feelings you hide inside
And smile again
See the sunshine …
