Secretly crying Lyrics

Only a father, only a mother
Can understand that you feel out of sorts today.
Your hidden crying, must feel like dying.
I see you're holding back your tears, wasting away.

But if you lose the game of love you have to part.
It's so hard for you, my little child.
No, it ain't easy.
I know your whole world's tumbling down.

I hear you crying, secretly crying
Those lonely night when you're still here with me to stay.
But I am hoping, secretly hoping
My little darling, you'll return zo me some day.
My broken heart will never mend
My love for you will never end.
Forever, pretty baby
I will be at your beck and call.

It's beyond bearing to know it hurts you
'Cause you will have to pay the piper, pretty girl.
My heart is breaking to see you aching
Want you to know my door is open all the time.
