When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense

She said before I go, just give me one last kiss

I'd tried to tell her

That it would only add to the pain

That's when those tears started to rain

As I look back I see mistakes we made

But I never thought, that we would lose our way

I tried to hold her

I tried to persuade her to wait

But those leavin' tears are always too late



BRIDGE

I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall

Maybe you should never count tears at all

Something was lost and we never found it

No matter how hard we tried

And it seems that there's no way to get around it

When tears tell you goodbye

Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say

I just tried to smile, but had to walk away

I turned to tell her 'I love you'

But she had faded into the rain

Now those lonely tears are all that remain

Now those lonely tears are startin' over again

Lonely tears,lonely tears
