With Tears in My Eyes

(Paul Howard)



With tears in my eyes, dear, I begged you to stay

You couldn't forgive me, so you went away

I made a mistake, dear, by tellin' you lies

Now I lay awake, dear, with tears in my eyes.



No more to be sweetheart, no more to be friend

Please give me a chance, dear, and I'll make amends

My yesterdays haunt me, my weary heart cries

I just can't go on, dear, with tears in my eyes.



If you ever need me, oh, please let me know

Wherever you lead me, I'm willin' to go

The past is a flower, that withers and dies

I'll wake up tomorrow, with tears in my eyes.



With tears in my eyes, dear, I begged you to stay

You couldn't forgive me, so you went away

I made a mistake, dear, by tellin' you lies

Now I lay awake, dear, with tears in my eyes...
