I didn't know what love was 'til I let it slip away
I didn't know the night until I lost the day
I didn't know the question 'til I was asking myself why
Now I know it's my time to cry
I had all the heavens and the stars at my command
I held love like a rare bird helpless in my hand
Oh, but I was cruel and like a fool I let it die
Now I know it's my time to cry
Time to cry, time to cry
Now that it's all over
It's my time to cry
They say all is fair in love
Who am I to disagree
I lived by the sword that now is cutting me
There's no getting 'round it
It's one eye for an eye
Now I know it's my time to cry
Time to cry, time to cry
Now that it's all over
It's my time to cry
Wish I could find the words to make you change your mind
Wish I could feel the warmth of your lips one more time
But you're gone forever and the river has run dry
Now I know it's my time to cry
Time to cry, time to cry
Now that it's all over
It's my time to cry
Time to cry, time to cry
Now that it's all over
It's my time to cry
