Teardrop
John S. Graves Lyrics

I read your letter, darlin'
I received and read the letter you sent me, my love.

Tears filled my eyes
I became emotional and started crying when I read your letter.

All of the promises you made Were nothing but lies
I realized that all the promises you made to me were not true.

So I turned your photograph over Face to the wall
To disassociate myself from you, I turned your picture towards the wall.

Teardrops will fall
I know that I will cry and shed tears because of my heartbreak.

Tears I can't hide Tears that I'd rather keep Deep down inside Tears fall
I cannot control my tears and emotions, but I prefer to keep my pain hidden inside.

And love is gone beyond these walls
I accept that our love is lost and cannot be recovered.

I'm gonna pray tonight, baby Hopin' you will hear And maybe you'll write all those wrongs And dry each tear
I will pray for reconciliation and hope that you will understand and make things right to stop my tears.

I sit alone tonight Hopin' you will call
I am alone and waiting, hoping that you will try to contact me again.

When I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
I know that when I'm alone in my dark room, I will cry over our lost love.

Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I'd rather keep Deep down inside Tears fall And love is gone beyond these walls When I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall
I acknowledge that tears will fall tonight due to my sadness and pain because our love is over and cannot be saved.
