|
They tell me little darlin', |
|
That tomorrow you'll be wed, |
|
You thought that you would hurt me, |
|
But you hurt yourself instead, |
|
I'll always be the same old pal, |
|
Just as in years gone by, |
|
I'll just set back and watch you, |
|
While you set alone and cry. |
|
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks, |
|
Tears you cannot hide and tears you cannot keep, |
|
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight, |
|
I wish I had a nickel, for every tear you shed last night. |
|
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happi-ness, |
|
I hope that you'll forgive me for in-truding like this, |
|
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years, |
|
I'll just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears. |
|
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks, |
|
Tears you cannot hide and tears you cannot keep, |
|
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight, |
|
I wish I had a nickel, for every tear you shed last night. |
