Song Lyrics

So many tears flow down the river
The world was coming to an end for me

You'll never see the sun shine brightly
I could never show what I feel for you
A single day, just to say: "goodbye."
All that's left is to cry out:"Why?"

Only God knows what he's done to me
Heaven don't let you go
I have to understand God took you by the hand
To a foreign land

I'd sell my soul just to hold you tight
I'd sell my soul just to see your eyes
A deep hole in my heart is still burning
I want to cry out, I'm missing you

Only God knows what he's done to me
Heaven don't let you go
I have to understand that God took you by the hand
To a foreign land
Heaven don't let you go

Could never hold you
Could never touch you
God leads you to a foreign land

I see my fate like a tear in the river
And the rain is falling down on me

Only God knows what he's done to me
Heaven don't let you go
I have to understand
God took you by the hand
To a foreign land

Heaven don't let you go
I have to understand
God took you by the hand
To lead you to a foreign land

Heaven don't, heaven don't let you go
I understand, God holds your hand
God holds your hand in a foreign land

So pure, so lovely, so beautiful
Wherever you are I'll send you all my love
