Ann Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 It seems that the country group, Diamond Rio, has recorded some of the songs that mean the most to me in my journey to live without Dennis. I wanted to share the lyrics to a new song by this group, in hopes you might be able to also comfort from these words. Artist/Band: Diamond Rio Lyrics for Song: God Only Cries Lyrics for Album: New Songs On an icy road one night A young man loses his life They marked the shoulder with a cross An' 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 sympathise. God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on An' all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because they're gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home. It still makes me sad When I think of my Grand-dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When my own gradnson 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 'Cause 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 'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyogirl Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks Ann, I do love that song too! It really hits home, doesn't it? And Randy, I also cry like a baby every time I hear the song "Skin." I used to HATE that song, while Dad was sick, but it isn't as bad now. Hope country keeps those inspirational and healing songs coming!
