The Boy Who Never Cried Lyrics - Earle Steve

Long ago and far away 

In a land no map can find 

There lived in long forgotten days 

A boy who never cried 

He was his mother's only child 

So she never wondered why 

Until the news spread far and wide 

Of a boy who never cried. 

From fabled lands the pilgrims came 

To behold the silent child 

In ancient tones they sang his name 

Over every lonely mile 

There were those who came in reverence 

There were those who stood outside 

And whispered low in quatrains dim 

Of a boy who never cried. 

Days grew long and short until 

The seasons turned to years 

The child grew strong and fairer still 

With a face unstained by tears 

And every maid and lady fair 

Held her breath when he passed by 

For their mothers bid them all beware 

Of a man who never cries. 

He lived alone for all his years 

And then on the day he died 

He shed a single precious tear 

For a boy who never cried.
