Crying in the Chapel Songtext
von Don McLean

You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the lord that I′ll grow stronger
As I live from day to day


Well, I've searched and I′ve searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To find peace of mind
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

Well, You search and you′ll search
But you′ll never find
No way on earth
To find peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray

(Take your troubles to the chapel
And you'll surely find the way

And you′ll surely find the way)
