(I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again)

They say a little tear can hurt an awful lot
But it'll break your heart when it's cause by someone who's forgot
They say a little tear won't ever walk away
Till someone who's gotta stay home comes home to stay

I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry
Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye
I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one
And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again

Things aren't right my world is at an end
And my dreams have gone to pieces seems I just can't win
Since you've been gone I don't know what I'll do
Cause my dream world's built around dreams that'll never come true

I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one
Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye
I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry
Now I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again
And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again
