Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
You told me you don’t love me, when you walked out the doorI stood there feelin’ lonely, then the tears began to pourWhat else could I do, I’d never felt like that beforeSo I cried an ol’ blue river in the middle of the floorNow I’m up to my ears in tearsI’m cryin’ night and day since you went awayThe things you used to say, honey, I no longer hearThat water’s cold and clear, I’m drownin’ for you dearUp to my ears in tearsWell I found some old love letters you wrote me years agoBut the words all ran together when the tears began to flowCause you left that water runnin’ now it’s got nowhere to goIf I can’t wash away your memory well I’ll just go under slowNow I’m up to my ears in tearsI’m cryin’ night and day since you went awayThe things you used to say, honey, I no longer hearThat water’s cold and clear, I’m drownin’ for you dearUp to my ears in tears
