The Sky Is Crying Lyrics
Gary B.B. Coleman
Lyrics
The sky is crying
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
I've been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be
I saw my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
I saw my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me so bad
It made my poor heart skip a beat
I've got a bad feeling
My baby don't love me no more
I've got a real bad feeling
My baby don't love me no more
The sky is crying, ya
Can't you see the tears roll down the road
