No Notes Available

I wrote this song in the sixties and, with the help of advice from Alan Roy Scott and Craig Bickhardt, have rewritten it as a retro ballad. Due to time constraints, I have performed the vocal myself although I am not a good singer and feel that it should have a young, female vocalist.

Lyrics

THE TEARS IN MY EYES

Verse 1

The tears in my eyes won't dry
'Til you're by my side
I'm gonna cry
'Cause I just can't hide the pain
I feel since you left me alone
To cry on my own

Verse 2

The love in my heart won't go
Though you're far away
I love you so
Like a fool who stays in the rain
Alone as it pours from the skies
Just like the tears in my eyes

Bridge

You said our love would last eternally
That you would always be around
But then you took your love away from me
And turned my whole world upside down

Verse 2 repeated

The love in my heart won't go
Though you're far away
I love you so
Like a fool who stays in the rain
Alone as it pours from the skies
Just like the tears in my eyes
Just like the tears in my eyes
Just like the tears in my eyes
