Teardrops fell the night you said
I love you dear and you were wed
I watched you while you held his hand
Then bowed my head and cried again

I cried again when I reached home
There set your picture all alone
I thought of things that might have been
And bowed my head and cried again

I took your letters from the shelf
Then read them aloud just to myself
And just before I reached the end
I turned away and cried again

I thought of love I'd been denied
And how to hold it I had tried
And of dreams that we had shared
And days gone by when you cared

Now here's the reason why I say
That I must throw your things away
For they would always bring my pain
And then I'd have to cry again
And then I'd only cry again
