The Tear of the Year - Various Artists/Jackie Wilson

I never thought I'd see

You turn your back on me

And taste another kiss with such delight

It hurt me so inside

Oh lord

I musta' cried

The tear of the year

Last night

And darlin'

When I heard

That final crushing word

That someone else's arms would hold you tight

I wished that I was dead

Oh lord

You konow I shed

The tear of the year

Last night

I built my whole world around you

By each and every dream

And now you're slipping

Through my fingers

Like the ripples

In a stream

Oh

Oh darlin'

You can say

Our love has seen it's day

But I'll forever go on feelin' blue

I feel the hurt inside

I felt the night I cried

The tear of the year

Over you

Oh

The tear

Of the year

Oh

Over you
