Hot And Cold Running Tears

Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan

Hot 'n cold running tears

Fill my eyes like falling rain,

And there's nothing I can do

To keep from crying over you.



Hot 'n cold running tears

Broke this heart of mine in two

And I'll never be the same

Till I can call your love'n name



And have you by my side

Back in my arms once more,

Giving me the love and kisses

That I've been crying for.



Hot 'n cold running tears

They fall down like rain on you

And Baby when they do,

Maybe you'll notice what I've been through

Crying those hot and cold running tears

Over you.



Hot 'n cold running tears

Fill my eyes like falling rain,

And there's nothing I can do

To keep from crying over you.



Hot 'n cold running tears

Broke this heart of mine in two

And I'll never be the same

Till I can call your love'n name.



And have you by my side

Back in my arms once more,

Giving me the love and kisses

That I've been crying for.



Hot 'n cold running tears

Fall down like rain on you

And Baby when they do,

Maybe you'll know what I've been through

Crying those hot and cold running tears

Crying those hot and cold running tears

Crying those hot and cold running tears

Over you.
