With These Tears In My Eyes
Her long flowing hair, still makes me weak in the knees
But all I ever do, is is just watch her cross the floor
I'm here most every night, around this same old time
But all I ever do, is just turn and close the door
She never looks my way, our lives are not the same
Now I'm just a lonely man, who hides here in the shadows
I once had everything, till my everything walked away
Why our lives have changed, heaven only knows
Today I walk alone, with these tears in my eyes
Bringing back old memories, of what we left behind
My arms are cold and empty, aching for her touch
But I'll just go on alone, with these tears in my eyes
Last night she sang a song, with a tear in her voice
I watched her wipe her cheek, while the music played
She paused for just awhile, then continued with the band
Another show has ended, as she walked off the stage
Tonight she caught my eye, as she looked my way and smiled
Her voice was soft and tender, as she sang a song for me
But the pains kept flashing back, of how she hurt me so
So I just closed and shut the door, and threw away the key
Today I walk alone, with these tears in my eyes
Bringing back old memories, of what we left behind
My arms are cold and empty, aching for her touch
But I'll just go on alone, with these tears in my eyes
