This Man He Weeps Tonight Lyrics

I wish that you could see
All the things that I have seen
This mind of mine is making life worthwhile
I wish that you'd have know
Of all the plans I had in store for us
Laughing, dancing, traveling the world of our own

And this man, he weeps tonight
And his head is bowed with sorrow
But what can you do, sitting there
When you let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow

I thought our thing would last
'Cause it said so in my horoscope
The days have gone and past while dreaming away
The light in here is dim
And the room closes in around me
Your picture's hanging loose on a rusting nail

And this man, he weeps tonight
And his head is bowed with sorrow
But what can you do, sitting there
When you let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow
And this man, he weeps tonight
And his head is bowed with sorrow
But what can you do, sitting there
When you let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow
Yes, you'll let him cry tomorrow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
