Many tears ago you said you'd love me
|
Oh how happy was this heart of mine
|
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
|
And the sun went down no more to shine
|
|
Many tears ago I learned too well love
|
What it means to bear a heavy load
|
I found out just what has meant by sorrow
|
Many tears ago along life's road
|
|
Many tears ago I built a castle
|
Built it very strong and very tall
|
Though I thought it has a firm foundation
|
Many tears ago I saw it fall
|
|
Many times I've wished that I would die love
|
Better to be dead than feel so low
|
All I ever lived or ever hoped for
|
Left me many many tears ogo
|
[ steel ]
|
Many tears ago you called me darling
|
In my dreams I hear you say it now
|
I can almost feel your arms around me
|
Arms that never meant to keep the vow
|
|
Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime
|
When you said goodbye and went away
|
Oh how well this aching heart remembers
|
Many many tears ago today
|
