only once and that is all
  and when you start to lose the fight
  and nothing else will make it right

 only hearts are meant to break
  and when you make that last mistake
  and everything you tried to say
  but all the words got in the way

 only god can hear you now                   only god can hear you now
  when you make that final vow               when you make that final vow
  say the words and say them loud            say the words and say them loud
  say the words that make you proud          say the words that make you proud


 and when you lose someone you depend upon
  only tears will fall
  and when you need a friend I will send you one
  only tears are meant to fall   {only tears will fall}

 only tears are meant to fall                only tears are meant to fall
  only once and that is all                  only once and that is all

 only tears are meant to fall                only tears are meant to fall
  only once and that is all                  only once and that is all

 only tears are meant to fall                only tears are meant to fall
  only once and that is all                  only once and that is all

 only tears are meant to fall                only tears are meant to fall
  only once and that is all                  only once and that is all
