(I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again)



They say a little tear can hurt an awful lot

But it'll break your heart when it's cause by someone who's forgot

They say a little tear won't ever walk away

Till someone who's gotta stay home comes home to stay



I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry

Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye

I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one

And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again



Things aren't right my world is at an end

And my dreams have gone to pieces seems I just can't win

Since you've been gone I don't know what I'll do

Cause my dream world's built around dreams that'll never come true



I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one

Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye

I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry

Now I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again

And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again
