Teardrops Will Fall

John Mellencamp

I read your letter, darlin'

Tears filled my eyes

All of the promises you made were nothing but lies

So I turned your photograph over face to the wall

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight

Tears I can't hide

Tears that I'd rather keep

Deep down inside

Tears from a love that's gone beyond these walls

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall

I'm gonna pray tonight, baby

Hopin' you will hear

And maybe you'll write all those wrongs

And dry each tear

I sit alone tonight

Hopin' you will call

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight

Tears I can't hide

Tears that I'd rather keep

Deep down inside

Tears from a love that's gone beyond these walls

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight

Tears I can't hide

Tears that I'd rather keep

Deep down inside

Tears from a love that's gone beyond these walls

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

When I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall
