Years of Tears

[Intro] [Verse 1] The letters that we wrote that year, Being apart was almost to much to bear. Every word he wrote still lives in my mind, Like the scent of his cologne she’s sure she’d find. We would talk till dawn, his voice low and sweet, I swear he made my lonely heart skip a b**t. [Chorus] For years all I had was your memory and my tears, A love that outlived the passage of years. Through the phone lines, the world felt small, But the cruel world we live in, took it all. Now she whispers to the empty air, “I’m still yours, if you’re still there.” [Verse 2] She was finally able to see him again, She anxiously waited for that night to begin. Now the silence hurts like a bullet hitting its mark, She dances alone in the dark, no spark— Just the ghost of his laugh, the ache in her heart, And a lifetime of memories we should've had from the start. [Chorus] For years all I had was your memory and my tears, A love that outlived the passage of years. Through the phone lines, the world felt small, But the cruel world we live in, took it all. Now she whispers to the empty air, “I’m still yours, if you’re still there.” [Bridge] She calls his phone, he's not there, She would give anything to get back the love they share. She writes letters, no one replies, Just the wind through the pines, a lullaby. [Chorus] For years all I had was your memory and my tears, A love that outlived the passage of years. Through the phone lines, the world felt small, But the cruel world we live in, took it all. Now she whispers to the empty air, “I’m still yours, if you’re still there.” [Outro] [Language] English
