Easy to hold but you were hard to keep
 You were a heartache waiting to be
 We took off flying down a dead end street

 I never knew that love could hurt so bad
 When you said goodbye with a tip of your hat
 I watched you leaving across the welcome mat
 And though I know that you ain't coming back

 One solitary tear is all I'll cry
 One solitary tear falling, falling,
 Falling from my eyes
 I'll get over you I'll get by
 One solitary tear at a time

 Little things remind me that you're gone
 The mailman still brings all your catalogs
 The radio just keeps on playing our songs
 But I tell myself that I have to be strong

 One solitary tear is all I'll cry
 One solitary tear falling, falling,
 Falling from my eyes
 I'll get over you I'll get by
 One solitary tear at a time

 I'll get over you
 I'll get by
 One solitary tear
 At a time
 One solitary tear
 At a time
