Tall black trees against a faded sky.
Tonight loneliness won't even pass me by.
Streetlights shining show that I'm alone.
In the box, there's no letters
And there's no one on the phone.
So here I am wondering, crying,
I'm by myself just missing you one more time.
Couples pass. The stars begin to shine.
They have theirs, why can't I have mine?
Why must war take my love away?
We may not have tomorrow,
We have only yesterday.
So here I am wondering, crying,
I'm by myself just missing you one more time.
Don't get me wrong, I know you're doing right.
But facts can't hold me in the middle of the night.
Sometimes the tears just can't help but fall
Not near the children, but out here in the hall.
So here I am wondering, crying,
I'm by myself just missing you one more time.

Somebody's crying. Could it be me?
There's no denying that it might be.
Could it be possibly the woman gone by?
I can't be crying. It must be a lie.
Teardrops are falling. Could they be mine?
Why are they falling? Like dewdrops they shine.
It is a fallacy, it must be a dream.
Those are not teardrops. They're not what they seem.
Chorus:
Teardrops and crying are not meant for me.
Where is the sunshine that I'm supposed to see?
What is the meaning of the hurting inside?
Why are there teardrops that I have to hide?
Someday I'll find out the meaning of life.
Then I'll be through with all of my strife.
Happiness is out there, I'll find it someday.
Where is it hiding? Please send some my way.
CHORUS
Teardrops are falling, but just on my head.
I wasn't crying, just like I said.
I wasn't hurting. It all was a lie.
The teardrops were raindrops, for I cannot cry.
