When she was leaving, she didn’t make much sense
   She said before i go, just give me one last kiss
   I’d tried to tell her
   That it would only add to the pain
   That’s when those tears started to rain
   As i look back i see mistakes we made
   But i never thought, that we would lose our way
   I tried to hold her
   I tried to persuade her to wait
   But those leavin’ tears are always too late
  
   BRIDGE
   I’d hate to try and count the tears that fall
   Maybe you should never count tears at all
   Something was lost and we never found it
   No matter how hard we tried
   And it seems that there’s no way to get around it
   When tears tell you goodbye
   Tonight i saw her, i didn’t know what to say
   I just tried to smile, but had to walk away
   I turned to tell her “i love you”
   But she had faded into the rain
   Now those lonely tears are all that remain
   Now those lonely tears are startin’ over again
   Lonely tears,lonely tears
