TEARDROPS

TEARDROPS FALLING DOWN LIKE RAIN

FROM EYES THAT HAVE HAD NO SLEEP.

YOUR MEMORY HAUNTS ME AGAIN AND AGAIN,

AND MAKES MY HEART TO WEEP.

THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT LOOKS BLACK TO ME,

IN THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT, NOT A STAR DO I SEE.

WHERE IS THE LIGHT OF THE MOON SO BRIGHT,

WHERE ARE THE STARS, IN THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT?

THEY ARE GONE FOREVER, MY HEART SAYS TO ME,

FOR YOU LEFT ME ALONE IN MY MISERY.

YOU FOUND ANOTHER THAT YOU LIKE TO SEE,

YOU FOUND ANOTHER LOVE, AND I MUST AGREE.

YET, SOMEDAY, MY SWEET LOVE, YOU SHALL KNOW

THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU WAS THE BRIGHTER GLOW.

YOUR HEART WAS SMITTEN BY HER BEAUTY, I SEE,

BUT BEAUTY FADES, AS DOES LOVE, YOU'LL SEE.

GOOD-BYE, MY SWEET LOVE, YOU LOVE ANOTHER,

GOOD-BYE, MY SWEET LOVE, THE TEARS SHALL FLOW,

BUT SOON THEY SHALL DRY, AND THEN I'LL KNOW

THAT YOU HAVE GONE, GONE FROM ME, ALONE.

THE TEARS SHALL FLOW FOR A TIME, AND THEN

MY HEART SHALL BE ABLE TO MEND.

I SHALL WONDER ABOUT YOU FOR A TIME, AND WHEN

MY HEART IS MENDED, I SHALL LOVE AGAIN.
