I Hope (You Never Cry Again)

(アルバム： Everybody's Choice - 1982)

I hope some rain falls on Bill Buchanan's cotton crop
And I hope when the ground is good
And wet and the cotton's good and green the rain will stop
And I hope the time will come when all the hate in this ole world'll end
But most of all I hope you never cry again

I hope that ole Miss Haley's broken hip gets well OK
And I hope she can set out more azaleas
And I hope she's right when she says she may buy her a Lemay
And I hope that someday I can turn ole Johnny Mills into a friend
But most of all I hope you never cry again

Cause I know why you cry and why you never sing a song
You cry because I'm always doing something wrong
I want my way but I'm trying hard to learn how to bend
That's why I hope you never cry again

I hope that all little leaguers sometime get to play
And I hope that all children learn to go
To the meadow and pick their moms a big bouquet
And I hope that ev'rybody gets out of the trouble they get in
But most of all I hope you never cry again

Cause I know why you cry and why you never sing a song
You cry because I'm always doing something wrong
I want my way but I'm trying hard to learn how to bend
That's why I hope you never cry again
