It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feelin's the same as bein' outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

I'm takin' the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
And I miss you there

It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feelin's the same as bein' outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I miss you there

I'm takin' the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I miss you there
Had to cry today
I could cry today
Had to cry today
Had to cry today
Had to cry today





Had to cry today
