Here come those tears again

Just when I was getting over you

Just when I was going to make it through

Another night without missing you

Thinking I might just be strong enough after all

When I hear your footsteps echoing in the hall



Baby here we stand again

Like we've been so many times before

Even though you looked so sure

As I was watching you walking out my door

But you always walk back in like you did today

Acting like you never even went away



Well I don't know if I can

Open up and let you in baby

Here come those tears

Here come those tears again



I can hear you telling me

How you needed to be free

And you had some things to work out alone

Now you're standing here telling me

How you have grown



Here come those tears again

Now you'll tell me how to hold them in

Here come those tears

Here come those tears again



Some other time baby

When I'm strong and feeling fine maybe

When I can look at you without crying

You might look like a friend of mine

But I don't know if I can

Open up enough to let you in

Here come those tears

Here come those tears again

Just walk away

I'm going back inside and turning out those light

And I'll be in the dark but you'll be out of sight
