Rockin' 80s

Recently in Pinoy Big Brother season 2, I heard this song which heralds back to the 80's. What caught my attention, aside from its light and easy rockin' tune were the lyrics. It reminded me somehow of my fiance and of myself as well when faced with tears shed by those I love. Here it is: When She cries by Restless Hearts

The lyrics are as follows:

The road I have traveled on
Is paved with good intentions
It's littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true
When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
And she does her best to hide
The pain that she's been through

(Chorus)
When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide all the fears she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She's always been there for me
Whenever I've fallen
When nobody else believed
She'd be there by my side
I don't know how she takes it
Just once I like to make it
Then there'll be tears of joy
That fills her loving eyes

(Repeat chorus)
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

It hurts to be the cause of someone else's tears, most especially when these tears are shed because of pain or fear. Tears of joy are a different matter altogether. Nice song....
