Tears, tears please leave my eyes. br I do not wish to sympathize br with all that seems to trouble me. br If you will leave then I'll be free. br br Each time I feel my eyes are dry br guilt appears and then I cry. br Salty tears that dribble on my face br bring me to a sad, sad place. br br Smiles please replace my tears. br I do not wish in my waning years br to spend my days in deep-felt sorrow. br I need to awaken to a bright tomorrow. br br The tears I've shed could fill a lake. br And oh the toll that they did take. br What good they are I do not know. br They just come. They just flow.
