Lyrics

We sat way back in the corner
And she was just one desk away
And we were mocking her about her hair
And the clothes she wore that day

She was tough as tough and looked at us
With eyes that said she’d kill
But it was two-on-one, and lots of fun
Until

She started crying
Oh she tried to keep it hid
But I saw the tears come to her eyes
And it hit me like a fist
Honest truth be known
I hid teardrops of my own
When she started crying


Well she didn’t come back to school next year
The family moved away
I heard her daddy found a better job
Somewhere up near Sister Bay

And sometimes I still think of her
And that I might have been her friend
Instead of carrying round this picture
Of what happened way back when

She started crying
Oh she tried to keep it hid
But I saw the tears come to her eyes
And it hit me like a fist
Honest truth be known
I hid teardrops of my own
When she started crying


Well I don’t recall the words we used
And my memory isn’t clear
On the details of that classroom
Or the season of the year

But some things you just don’t forget
And I remember all too well
The way it felt to see her there
Before the morning bell

Crying
Oh she tried to keep it hid
But I saw the tears come to her eyes
And it hit me like a fist
Honest truth be known
I hid teardrops of my own
When she started crying

She started crying
Crying
