When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense She said before I go, just give me one last kiss I'd tried to tell her That it would only add to the pain That's when those tears started to rain As I look back I see mistakes we made But I never thought, that we would lose our way I tried to hold her I tried to persuade her to wait But those leavin' tears are always too late BRIDGE I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall Maybe you should never count tears at all Something was lost and we never found it No matter how hard we tried And it seems that there's no way to get around it When tears tell you goodbye Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say I just tried to smile, but had to walk away I turned to tell her 'I love you' But she had faded into the rain Now those lonely tears are all that remain Now those lonely tears are startin' over again Lonely tears,lonely tears
