Tears of joy
Are just a distant memory
Tears of pain
I stopped crying them today
These tears you see my cry
While I fall apart inside
Are the tears of a fool
Who threw true love away
Tears of a fool
Rolling down my cheeks again
Tears of a fool
Clouding up my eyes
The things I should have said
Keep rolling ‘round my head
And these tears of a fool
Are the only tears I cry
Pardon me
If I don’t say hello
Pardon me
If I don’t muster a smile
Just leave me here with my tears
And these lonely wasted years
And these tears of a fool
To last me all the while
Tears of a fool
Rolling down my cheeks again
Tears of a fool
Clouding up my eyes
The things I should have said
Keep rolling ‘round my head
And these tears of a fool
Are the only tears I cry
All the things I could have said
Keep rolling ‘round my head
And these tears of a fool
Are the only tears I cry
Ya these tears of a fool
Are the only tears I cry
