You told me you don't love me, when you walked out the door

I stood there feelin' lonely, then the tears began to pour

What else could I do, I'd never felt like that before

So I cried an ol' blue river in the middle of the floor



Now I'm up to my ears in tears

I'm cryin' night and day since you went away

The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear

The water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear

Up to my ears in tears



Well I found some old love letters you wrote me years ago

But the words all ran together when the tears began to flow

'Cause you left that water runnin' now it's got nowhere to go

If I can't wash away your memory guess I'll just go under slow



'Cause I'm up to my ears in tears

I'm cryin' night and day since you went away

The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear

The water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear

Up to my ears in tears



Yeah I'm up to my ears in tears

I'm cryin' night and day since you went away

The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear

That water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear

Up to my ears in tears



Yeah that water's cold and clear

I'm drownin' for you dear

Up to my ears in tears
