[Verse 1]
Tears of joy
Turn to sorrow
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
But I'll cry a million tears (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone that long
[Verse 2]
Happy days, oh they turn to blue
Ever since, my baby, I lost you
[Chorus]
And I'll cry a million tears (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone that long
[Bridge]
There’s no use
In my denying
Just as long as you’re gone
That’s how long I’ll be crying
[Verse 3]
Tears for the good
Tears for the bad
Tears for everything, baby
We’ve lost that we’ve ever had
[Chorus]
And I'll (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone
Gone
That long
Tears of joy
Turn to sorrow
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
But I'll cry a million tears (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone that long
[Verse 2]
Happy days, oh they turn to blue
Ever since, my baby, I lost you
[Chorus]
And I'll cry a million tears (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone that long
[Bridge]
There’s no use
In my denying
Just as long as you’re gone
That’s how long I’ll be crying
[Verse 3]
Tears for the good
Tears for the bad
Tears for everything, baby
We’ve lost that we’ve ever had
[Chorus]
And I'll (cry, cry cry)
For a million years (cry, cry, cry)
If you stay gone
Gone
That long
