You whispered good-bye;
Then you faded from sight.
My days drift on by,
But my tears come at night.
My friends see me smile
And they think I’m all right.
I’m brave for a while,
But my tears come at night.
When I think of our love and devotion
My heart overflows with emotion.
You whispered good-bye;
Then you faded from sight.
My days drift on by,
But my tears come at night.
As I slip into bed
And I turn out the light,
Thoughts of you fill my head
As my tears come at night.
