Cryin' Time
Emotional Farewell: Unveiling the Heartache in 'Cryin' Time' Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
Expresses the recurrence of a sad moment, anticipating a separation.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Observation of a distant, emotionally detached expression in the partner's eyes.
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
Noticing emotional distance through the way the partner holds the speaker.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Foreseeing an upcoming period of sorrow or heartbreak.
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
Refers to the common saying that being apart intensifies affection.
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Describing tears as a natural part of love, a way to nurture it.
But my love for you could never grow no stronger
Asserting that the speaker's love is already at its strongest.
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Emphasizing that even a long life won't deepen the speaker's love further.
Oh it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
Reiteration of the expectation of impending separation and emotional pain.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Reiterating the observation of emotional detachment in the partner.
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
Confirming emotional distance through physical touch.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Repeating the anticipation of approaching heartbreak.
Now you say you've found someone that you love better
Acknowledging the partner's claim of finding someone else.
That's the way it's happened every time before
Highlighting a pattern of similar situations occurring in the past.
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Stating the inevitability of the emotional pain when the partner leaves.
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door
Anticipating the onset of sadness upon the partner's departure.
Oh it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
Reiterating the prediction of an impending separation and emotional distress.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Repeating the observation of emotional detachment in the partner.
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
Reconfirming emotional distance through physical touch.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Restating the expectation of approaching heartbreak.
Oh it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Emphasizing the imminent arrival of a sorrowful period.
