[Chorus]
Oh, it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling, oh
That it won't be long before it's crying time
[Verse 1]
Now they say that absence makes
the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old
[Chorus]
Oh, it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling, yeah, now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
[Verse 2]
Now you say you've found someone
that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
[Chorus]
Oh, it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me,
darling, oh, right now
That it won't be long before it's crying time
[Outro]
That it won't be long before it's crying time
