The Tear of the Year Lyrics

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 must've cried
The tear of the year last night

And darling, 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 know I shed
The tear of the year last night

I built my whole world around you
My each and every dream
And now you're slipping through my fingers
Like the ripples in a stream

Oh, oh darling, you can say
Our love has seen its day
But I'll forever go on feeling blue
I′ll 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
