Tear By Tear

(Jerry Lane)



Kiss by kiss I fell in love with you

Beat by beat you stole my heart away

Then lie by lie you broke that heart in two

Tear by tear I'm crying my life away.



Dream by dream my future tumble down

Hurt by hurt I weaken every day

Night after night you don't come around

Tear by tear I'm crying my life away.



Memory by mem'ry I've tried to drive you from my mind

But each tick of the clock says I'm wasting my time

One by one my hopes have disappeared

Hour by lonely hour I know you come to stay.



But wish by wish I keep wanting you here

'Cause tear by tear I'm crying my life away

Tear by tear I'm crying my life away...
