The nights were dark and long, I spent a million all alone. But I never once stopped loving you. My world was cold and still, my dreams lay unfulfill.
Hmm I heard an old song today and it took me to yesterday. Back to the time when your love was mine now the song lingers on in my mind. Stirring mem'ries that I'd left behind the time of my life when I was your wife.
Just like old times you were here last night and gone was my worry and care. When I awoke I knew then that I had dreamed of an old love affair. I was alone in the darkness my dear many dreams ago you left me there.
I've got your picture. That you gave to me. And it's signed with love. Just like it used to be. The only thing different. The only thing new. I've got your picture.
I don't hurt anymore, all my teardrops are dried. No more walking the floor with that burning inside. Just to think it could be time has opened the door.
Today I sat alone at my window. And I watched our little boy outside at play. With the little girl next door like so many times before. But something didn't seem quite right today.
I believe for every drop of rain. That falls a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night. A candle glows. . I believe for every one who goes astray.
You lived it up, turned me down. Now it's gonna be the other way around. I can turn you every way but loose. . You take me in then turn me out. Now we're gonna take it and turn about.
It's teardrop time I'm all alone again it's teardrop time my baby's gone again. My happiness has left me here behind sad eyes get sick to cry it's teardrop time.
I talked to me and I told me you'd be leaving I made my plans to get up from the fall. I talked to me into thinkin' I could make it but oh it's dawned on me you're gone.
If time were not a moving thing. And I could make it stay this hour. The love we share will always be. There'd be no coming day. To shine a morning light.
It's a sin, my darling, how I love you. Because I know our love can never be. It's a sin to keep these mem'ries of you. When silence proves that you've forgotten me.
I'll get over you before too long. Just wait and see. And I won't need you any more. Than you'll need me. . You just can't be that important. My life can't be over yet.
If I could make my living going fishing. Then I would make my living with a line and pole. Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord. Buy some working clothes cause I ain't.
I know I'm one that you love. Just not the only one. You say that you can't resist me. I know I should just break and run. But I won't, til I figure all this out.
Hey girl we've been friends for so long. And I've always been your shoulder when you cried. Now your asking how to end your heartache. I'm telling your right now take my advice.
I've been waiting by the way. Chill of night and heat of day. I can't even count the hours. Wasted in these ivory tower. . When in doubt and deep despair.
Here is my fortune. Here is my fame. Here is my future. It's in my pocket. And if my fortune. . Weren't only lint and small change. Wishing in one hand.
Yesterday I saw. The iron curtain. Around your heart. Yesterday I saw. The iron curtain. Around your heart. Making me cry. Making me wonder. Bringing me down.
If a song could be president. Wed hum on Election Day. The gospel choir would start to sway. And wed all have a part to play. . The First Lady would free her hips.
