I Cried For You

I Cried For You

Katie Melua

You're beautiful so silently

It lies beneath a shade of blue

It struck me so violently

When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause

To feel that magic in your hand

To me you're like a wild rose

They never understand why

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world

With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget

This love of ours or that we met

They may not know

How much you meant to me

I cried for you

And the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see

How fragile the world can be

And I know you've gone away

But in my heart you'll always stay

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went

I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

That beauty need only be a whisper
