I Couldn't Keep From Crying:Johnny Cash. Album - Greatest! - on SUN Records in 1959. #1. I saw you walking by his side..heard you whisper all those lies. And I couldn't keep from crying. You sang him love songs tenderly just the way you sang to me. And I couldn't keep from crying. BRIDGE: I saw you capture all his charms while he held you in his arms. With his pretty words and ways, in your heart, he took my place. #2. I stood and watched him steal a kiss from two lips I know I'll miss. And I couldn't keep from crying. INTERLUDE: BRIDGE: I saw you capture all his charms while he held you in his arms. With his pretty words and ways, in your heart, he took my place. #3. I stood and watched him steal a kiss from two lips I know I'll miss. And I couldn't keep from crying. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
