Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears 

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

My mother often told me, angels bonded your life away 

She said I would accomplish, but trust in God and pray 

I'm on the King's Highway, I'm travelin' everyday 

'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears 

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

My mother, she's in glory, thank God I'm on my way 

Father, he's gone too, and sister she could not stay 

I'm trusting Him everyday, to bear my burdens away 

'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears 

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

I thought when she first left me, I'd pray 

for a little while 

Soon it all would be over, and I'd journey on with a smile 

But the thought as I get older, I think of what I told her 

And I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears 

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes 

Well, well
