I Couldn't Keep From Crying - Marty Robbins Composer: M. Robbins Reached #5 on the country chart in 1953. Original key I saw you walking by his side Heard you whisper all those lies And I couldn't keep from crying #1: You sang him love songs tenderly Just the way you sang to me And I couldn't keep from crying Saw you captured all his charms As you nestled 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 Instrumental: Saw you captured all his charms As you nestled 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
