Oh it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder

And that tears are only rain to make love grow

For my love for you could never grow no stronger

If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me

I can see that faraway look in your eyes

I can tell by the way you hold me darling

That it won't be long before it's crying time

[ steel ]

Now you say that you found someone you love better

That's the way it's happened every time before

And as sure as sun comes up tomorrow

Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again...

I can tell by the way...
