lyrics version 1
Lover, parted and gone
But longing questions linger on
Like what's a promise for
An empty thought that she can't ignore
'Til it fades away and dies
Lost in the language of her sighs
Whenever Sarah cries
Heartache hiding away
Longing glances tears betray, oh-oh-oh
It's such an old routine
Stay on top of the daily scene
And she fights against the lies
Breaking the shell of her disguise
Whenever Sarah cries
Why'd he reach for her hand and then never take it
Oh oh
Why'd he reach for her heart when he knew he'd only break it
When he knew he'd rather make it on his own
Leaving her alone
Oh keep her, hold her in your hand
Guide her, help her understand
And give her heart a song
Give her freedom to carry on
Let your morning sun arise
Chasing the sadness from her eyes
Whenever Sarah cries
Whenever Sarah cries
But longing questions linger on
Like what's a promise for
An empty thought that she can't ignore
'Til it fades away and dies
Lost in the language of her sighs
Whenever Sarah cries
Heartache hiding away
Longing glances tears betray, oh-oh-oh
It's such an old routine
Stay on top of the daily scene
And she fights against the lies
Breaking the shell of her disguise
Whenever Sarah cries
Why'd he reach for her hand and then never take it
Oh oh
Why'd he reach for her heart when he knew he'd only break it
When he knew he'd rather make it on his own
Leaving her alone
Oh keep her, hold her in your hand
Guide her, help her understand
And give her heart a song
Give her freedom to carry on
Let your morning sun arise
Chasing the sadness from her eyes
Whenever Sarah cries
