First You Cry

~Percy Sledge

{And New Verses We Added!}

Here is the classic Percy Sledge singing, First You Cry. It's a great song in and of itself, but it inspired Tommy and met to add a few verses at the end. So, enjoy, but "First, you cry"!

First You Cry

~Percy Sledge

{And New Verses We Added!}

It don't come cheaply when they look like that

So hard to keep when they move so fast

Soon you'll find it's all for the best

Put the past behind and the hurt to rest

But first you cry, then you sigh

Somebody lied and you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad; It ain't so bad

Oh you'll get by

But first you cry

Candy Mountains, Streets of Gold

O the promises, how they just turn cold

Till the sun will shine there'll be warmer days

You'll be feeling fine You just walk away

But first you cry, then you sigh

Somebody lied and you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad; It ain't so bad

Oh you'll get by

But first you cry

Don't look back There's nothing to gain

There's no happiness without a little rain

But first you cry, then you sigh

Somebody lied and you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad; It ain't so bad

Oh you'll get by

But first you cry

First you cry, then you sigh

Somebody lied and you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad; It ain't so bad

Oh you'll get by

But first you cry

First you cry, then you sigh

Somebody lied and you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad; It ain't so bad

Oh you'll get by

But first you cry

And then, Tommy and I added some verses...

Substitute these each time Percy sings his chorus:

First you fuss, then you cuss

Our baby died, and we tried to comply

But it hurts so bad, our hearts are too sad

We try to get by,

But first we cry

Our bodies ache, and then they break

Our baby died, our hearts can't comply

'Cause it hurts too bad, we go from sad to mad

As we try to get by

But first we cry

Our soul's confused, it's been abused

Our baby died, though we tried and we tried

So now what do we do; we've got a messed up view

We just try to get by

But first we cry

We learn to lean, after we scream

Our baby died, we can't comply though we've tried

God knows it hurts too bad, and we're just too sad

So He helps us get by

But first we cry
