Tears, Tears And More Tears

Lyrics

Wake up early in the morning

I got you on my mind

Even a simple phone call would suit me just fine

Tears, tears and more tears

I can't help but keep on crying

Tears, tears and more tears

I can't get you off of my mind

You didn't say what happened

You just walked away

You've been nothing but sorrow

And a lot of rainy days

Tears, tears and more tears

Baby won't you please come home

Tears, tears and more tears

Oh you've been gone too long

I remember the good times

The good times we had

How can you leave all that behind

Like it was just another place you've had

Remember the time when we drank sweet wine

I thought that everything was fine

Remember the walk in the park

When we talked about love and peace of mind?

Remember the night when I held you tight

Let the world pass us by

Remember the day when I heard you say

We can make it if we try

Tears, tears and more tears

What happened to the love we had?

Tears, tears and more tears

I got the blues and I got them bad

Wake up early in the morning

I got you on my mind

Even a simple phone call would suit me just fine

Tears, tears and more tears

I can't help but keep on crying

Tears, tears and more tears

I can't get you off of my mind

Tears, tears and more tears

Baby won't you please come home

Tears, tears and more tears

Oh you've been gone too long
