Oh why do lonely tears have to fall
When sadly I recall my love for you
The moments that we’ve shared
Were so real so true
But now you’re gone
And I’m alone, alone and blue
Oh now my lonely tears have to fall
And sadly I recall my love for you
If I had never cared
And love we’d never shared
Oh then my tears will never fall
Will never fall
Though spring is here
And love so near
Your sweet words of love
I no longer hear
When you’re not here no love is near
I still remember oh so clear
our love so dear
Oh now my lonely tears have to fall
And sadly I recall my love for you
If I had never cared,
And love we’d never shared
Oh then my tears will never fall
Will never fall
