Diamond Rio - God Only Cries

Lyrics to God only Cries by Diamond Rio 

On an icy road one night A young man loses his life They marked the shoulder with a cross An' his family gathers round on a piece of Hallowed ground Their hearts are heavy with their loss As the tears fall from their eyes There's one who'll always sympathise. God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on An' all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because they're gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home. It still makes me sad When I think of my Grand-dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When my own gradnson Wonders why I went away Maybe we're not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land. God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on And all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because they're gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm
