Jim Reeves - Teardrops Of Regret lyrics

I look back into the past since we've parted

The last few days seem like a million years

Why was I so wrong and felt dishearted

A smile can't find it's way through all these tears.

I never cried until the day I lost you

But sorrow comes to make me pay my debt

And dear I owe the price it must have caused you

For I'm paying now with teardrops of regret.

The whole world seems to know I've been unfaithful

It's all my fault because we had to part

It hurts me deep within but still I'm thankful

That I can pay with teardrops in my heart.

I wish that I could the tell the tears unhiding

Or trade her broken heart in on my debt

But there's no sale for sorrow when you're crying

So I'm paying with teardrops of regret...
