I never thought i'd see,
You turn your back on me,
And taste another kiss with such delight.


It hurt me so inside,
Oh lord,

I musta' cried,
The tear of the year,
Last night.


And darlin'
When i heard,

That final, crushing word,
That someone else's arms would hold you tight.,
I wished that i was dead.


Oh lord,
You konow i shed,

The tear of the year,
Last night.


I built my whole world around you,
By each and every dream.
And now you're slipping,

Through my fingers,
Like the ripples,
In a stream.


Oh!
Oh darlin',

You can say,
Our love has seen it's day.
But i'll forever go on feelin' blue.


I feel the hurt inside,
I felt the night i cried,

The tear of the year,
Over you.


Oh!
The tear,
Of the year,

Oh!
Over you.
