Crying in the Chapel lyrics
by Don McLean
[Verse 1]
You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now, I'm happy with the Lord
[Verse 2]
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
[Chorus]
Well, I searched (I searched) and I searched (I searched)
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To find peace of mind
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
[Chorus]
Well, you'll search (You'll search), and you'll search (you'll search)
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To find peace of mind
[Verse 4]
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
(Take your troubles to a chapel
And you'll surely find the way)
[Outro]
(And you'll surely find the way)
