Karaoké God Only Cries Diamond Rio

On an icy road one night a young man loses his life

They marked the shoulder with a cross

And 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 sympathize

God only cries for the living

'Cos 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 'cos they're in a

Better place than hmm they've ever known

God only cries for the living

'Cos it's the living that are so far from home

It still makes me sad when I think of my Granddad

I miss him each and every day

But I know the time will come when my own grandson 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

'Cos 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 'cos they're in

A better place than oh they've ever known

God only cries for the living

'Cos it's the living that are so far from home

Yeah we're so far from home hmm hmm hmm
