You Cry A Tear To Start A River Lyrics
Stand close to me
Don’t sail away baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
So you head
On down
To the bottom near the river
Just to wash away
All the pain of today and yesterday and you tried so hard to wash away the spots
But your tears don’t seem to do enough
It’s just too much
But darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Stand close to me
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby
So you look into,
You look into the water and there you are
Just the way you left your self all alone
But lift your head and look across the water
Cause there you see all of us together
So darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Stand close to me
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby
(La La La La)
Darling grab a hand we won’t let you go
Darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Stand close to me
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby
(La La La La)
Don’t sail away baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
On down
To the bottom near the river
Just to wash away
All the pain of today and yesterday and you tried so hard to wash away the spots
But your tears don’t seem to do enough
It’s just too much
But darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby
You look into the water and there you are
Just the way you left your self all alone
But lift your head and look across the water
Cause there you see all of us together
So darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby
Darling grab a hand we promise not to let you stand alone
Don’t sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let them see just how beautiful you are
You are like nobody else you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don’t you know you’re special?
You’re really something special, baby

Personally, I don't think this is one of their best songs...but, it's still so cute. It always makes me smile for some reason, especially when he sings: "Don’t you know you’re special?/You’re really something special, baby". Very adorable. =]
i think this song is so cute. i want to give it a huge hug. it really kind of just lifts my spirit a bit.
This song makes me feel...hopeful. Maybe not the song itself, but the lyrics definitely.
Isn't it a song wrote for Renee ? From "To Write Love On Her Arms" ?
Anyway it's a pretty simple song with uplifting and positive lyrics. Obviously addressed to a girl that needs help and seems to be depressed with low self-esteem
This is actually my favorite song by them. Maybe the lyrics aren't as great as they are in the others, but the song itself is definately my favorite.
The beat and voices always make me smile. :] I love the part, "You are like nobody else you see, Nothing less than any girl in your magazine."
'Jayknight' pretty much covered the meaning. :]
all the songs on the 'the story and the song' album are about renee from twloha. she's truely inspiartional as are these songs
