There's a light in the dark
That I can see from my heart
I'm still cryin', hear me cryin'
And I sit and wonder why it's so hard
I have to try to live without you
So sad, so sad
Page by page, photographs lookin' back
Epitaph of time and places
In my mind, still believe
Though you're gone, you'll never leave
I'm still cryin', hear me cryin'

So sad, so sad
Oh it's so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad

Hold back the tears
Hold back the tears

And the wind cries your name
Seems like nothing's the same
Now without you
Ash to ash, dust to dust
As we let go of the past, life goes on
Life goes on

So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad

Hold back the tears
Hold back the tears
The tears
Hold back the tears
Hold back the tears

I see your face in every crowd
I cry out loud but you don't hear me
No, you can't hear me
Hold back the tears

Too many words left unspoken
Hold back the tears
Too many hearts that were broken
Hold back the tears
You may be gone, but not forgotten
Hold back the tears, hold back the tears
Hold back the tears
I can't help myself from cryin'
