Chris Beard - One More Cry for Love Lyrics

First thing she remembered was being left at a stranger's home
Mother said, child, just like me, you're gonna have to make it on your own
At night the tears kept falling, and there would never ever be enough, no, no, no, no
Nah, nah, nah, all her life, just one more cry of love

She worked the streets of Memphis just to get to New Orleans
Her chain, her name, her face, she said she was such a pretty little thing
She gave them all, every little thing she had to give, but now she's trying to get back (What she gave up)
Oh, but every night, just one more, one more cry for love

Is someone there? (Does someone care?) Is anybody listening anywhere?
(Throughout the years) All the wasted tears, do the angels, do they really end?
So high above, (One more cry) for love

She's going down to the welfare, because she can't work the streets no more
Nobody wants a party girl with a baby starting to show
The child needs a better home, oh Lord, but she ain't gonna give it up
Nah, nah, nah, she's gonna hold it real close, just one more cry for love

Is someone there (Does someone care?) Is anybody listening anywhere?
(Throughout the years) All the wasted tears, do the angels, do they really end?
So high above, (One more cry) for love

Just one more cry, (One more cry)
I see tears in her eyes, (One more cry) one more cry
I see tears in her eyes, (One more cry), just one more cry
