(Autry Inman)

Teardrops fell the night you said
I love you dear and you were wed
I watched you while you held his hand
I turned away and cried again.

I cried again when I reached home
There set your picture all alone
I'd thought of things that might have been
And I bowed my head and cried again.

--- Instrumental ---

I took your letters from the shelf
And read aloud just to myself
And just before I reached the end
And I bowed my head and cried again.

I'd thought of things so long ago
And of the love I wanted so
And then our fate had took a hand
And I bowed my head and cried again.

--- Instrumental ---

And here's the reason why I say
I must throw your things away
For they would always bring me pain
And then I go and cry again...
