For you I bought some roses and perfume And sang my songs if there was gloom Gave you my heart, my everything A golden ring
With you I fell in love by candlelight Wrote tender poems, that starry night You filled me with a wild desire A heart on fire
But love can be a victim of ‘the same old way’ of ‘getting into a groove’ Then it can’t stand the wear and tear of time They call it ‘the price of love’
Teardrops, teardrops are falling Oh, my eyes grow misty babe when memory’s calling Crying, crying, so lonely Dreamin’ of the days you said: “I love you only” But that’s the way the story goes And how it ends, nobody knows Always teardrops, teardrops are falling
To you I wrote my letters just to say How much I missed you day by day I had your picture on the wall My baby doll
But love can be a victim of ‘the same old way’ of ‘getting into a groove’ Then it can’t stand the wear and tear of time They call it ‘the price of love’
Teardrops, teardrops are falling Oh, my eyes grow misty babe when memory’s calling Crying, crying, so lonely Dreamin’ of the days you said: “I love you only” But that’s the way the story goes And how it ends, nobody knows Always teardrops, teardrops are falling Always teardrops, teardrops are falling
