Tears In My Eyes

The rain keeps on falling It’s gonna be one of those days You said you’d get back and let me know You can’t keep going on this way I know you’ve tried to warn me You’ve stuck with me though it all My drinking’s got the best of me This is probably my last call I finally received your message You said – “you will never change” That I took you for granted You’re tired of playing these silly games You said it’s time for me To read the part About your last goodbye But it’s so hard to read your letter With tears in my eyes The rains still falling I hope I can weather the storm It’s so cold in here without you Your old picture - helps keep me warm Thinking about the way we were The tears start swelling in my eyes I take a shot of whiskey It helps me make it through the night I’ll never forget your message You said – “you will never change” That I took you for granted You’re tired of playing these silly games You said it’s time for me To read the part About your last goodbye But it’s so hard to read your letter With tears in my eyes [Bridge] I’ll never forget the day you left Things have never been the same I did take you for granted You moved on to better things The good times I thought we had Only made you cry Baby, I just couldn’t see it With tears in my eyes I’ll never forget your message You said – “you will never change” That I took you for granted You’re tired of playing these silly games You said it’s time for me To read the part About your last goodbye But it’s so hard to read your letter With tears in my eyes With tears in my eyes
