You Can't Fall In Love When You're Cryin' Lyrics


She gently brushed my arm as she walked by me
And she turned and said "I'm sorry" with a smile
She was everything I ever dreamed of meeting
But I quickly closed my eyes & walked the other way, 'cause...You can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes
If I said I loved you I'd be lyin'
'Cause the memory of yesterday is still in my mindShe caught me just before I reached the corner
And she asked me most politely for my name
She was more than just a girl, she was an angel
And I wanted so to lie, but I told her just the same: You see...You can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes
If I said I loved you I'd be lyin'
'Cause the memory of yesterday is still in my mindShe winked & said "I know just how you're feelin'
And I know there's nothing I can say
That can change the way you feel, so here's my number
You can call me on the phone when the feeling goes away
'Cause I know..."You can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes

If I said I loved you I'd be lyin'
'Cause the memory of yesterday is still in my mind

Lee Greenwood (born October 27, 1942 in South Gate, California) is an American country pop singer and songwriter. He is best known for a string of Countrypolitan hits throughout the 1980s, as well as for his hit "God Bless the USA".

Early life

After the separation of his parents, Lee grew up in Sacramento on the poultry farm of his grandparents. At the age of seven, he began playing the saxophone, and at the age of nine became a member of a dance ensemble. In 1969, he joined the Chester Smith Band and had his first television appearance. A short time later, he worked with the country musician Del Reeves.

He founded his first band, Apollo, in 1962. He briefly battled a cocaine addiction and moved to Iceland to go to rehab. The band, which changed its name later to Lee Greenwood Affair, played mostly pop music and appeared mostly in casinos in Las Vegas. A few records were recorded in Los Angeles with the Paramount label. After the band broke up in the 1970s, Greenwood moved back to Las Vegas, where he worked as a black jack dealer during the day, and as a singer at night.


Career

In 1979, he was discovered in Reno, Nev., by Larry McFaden, the bandleader and bassist of Mel Tillis. After making some demo tapes, Greenwood was signed in 1981 by the Nashville-based MCA label, and McFaden became his manager.

The first single, "It Turns Me Inside Out", made it to a spot in the top 20 of the country charts. Greenwood had written this song for Kenny Rogers, but Rogers turned it down due to the sheer volume of songs he had been offered at the time. "Ring On Her Finger and Time on her Hands" landed him in the country top 10.

He is best known for writing and recording the patriotic song "God Bless the USA" in the early 1980s. "God Bless the USA" gained renewed popularity following the launch of Operation: Desert Storm in 1991, and again, ten years later, following the September 11, 2001 attacks; in fact, the song even re-entered the Top 20 of the country charts in late 2001. Since then, Greenwood has played at many public events and commemorations of the attacks. He supports the United States Republican Party.


Theater

In 1995, Greenwood took a break from his touring schedule to spend time with his wife and newborn son. In his time off, he elected to build a theater in Sevierville, Tenn., and in April 1996, the "Lee Greenwood Theater" opened its doors. This gave Greenwood the opportunity to still perform daily shows, in addition to being with his family. The theater operated for five seasons, and closed for Greenwood to continue touring. The theater was not located in the heavily entertainment and tourist oriented areas of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Gatlinburg, Tenn., which contributed to the theater closing. The former theater building is now host to a church.
