Oh, its cryin' time again your gonna leave me;

I can see that far away look in your eyes.

I can tell by the way you hold me darlin',

Oh, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder,
D
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
D7 G
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger,
D A7 D
If I live to be a hundred years old.

Oh, you say that you found someone you loved better;

That the way it happened every time before.

And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow,
D A7 D
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door.
