Teardrops fell the night you said
  I love you dear and you were wed
  I watched you while you held his hand
  Then bowed my head and cried again
  
  I cried again when I reached home
  There set your picture all alone
  I thought of things that might have been
  And bowed my head and cried again
  
  I took your letters from the shelf
  Then read them aloud just to myself
  And just before I reached the end
  I turned away and cried again
  
  I thought of love I'd been denied
  And how to hold it I had tried
  And of dreams that we had shared
  And days gone by when you cared
  
  Now here's the reason why I say
  That I must throw your things away
  For they would always bring my pain
  And then I'd have to cry again
  And then I'd only cry again
