If you are a Boston Red Sox fan and you know this song…please sing along, if you can. Then look for my “Disappointed Fan Version” below…
CRYING TIME
(Owens)
Ray Charles - 1966
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling Oooh
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's crying time (2x)
“Disappointed Fan Version”
Conlibe - 2009
Oh it’s Crying Time again…
Angels swept Sox from Playoffs
I can see that look of despair in our eyes
I could tell…by the way the Sox were playing
That it wouldn’t be long before the Crying Time….
Now they say that there’s next year and the year after
And our tears will only make Big Papi strong
‘cause our love for him could never grow no stronger
If we lived to be a hundred years or more
Oh, it's crying time again, the Yankees made it
And they'll taunt us the next season opener
I could tell - by the way that team was playing
There'd be NO wet tissues on their floor this year
Some fans say they’ve found a team that they love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
But if the PATS win each and every game tomorrow
Crying time won’t stop till Red Sox win some more
Oh, it's crying time again, no AL East games hyah!
Fenway Park will now be shuttered, silent, dark
We all know that Papelbon will not be dancing
And the Swan Boats won’t be parading this year!
Oh well…can’t be all serious and talking about Health Care Reform. Can we? Let’s take time off for some fun…or despair!
