Phyllis Hyman
Waiting for the Last Tear to Fall
[Verse 1]
Another day of waiting out this storm
The rain has come to stay since you've been gone
Oh isn’t that the way with heartache
Seems it's never gonna go away
Then you put yourself together
The sun is shining again

[Chorus]
Now I'm waiting for the last
Tear to fall
I’ve gotta put the past behind me
And get on with it all
Waiting for the last tear to fall
I've been crying for too long
Now I'm waiting for the last tear to fall
I'm waiting, for the last tear
Last tear to fall

[Verse 2]
Another night and there's no sign of stars
And all I want is to be where you are
But I really gotta keep my distance
And forget the things you meant to me
I'm waiting for that moment
When I'm back on my feet
[Chorus]
Now I'm waiting for the last tear to fall
I’ve gotta put the past behind me
And get on with it all
Waiting for the last tear to fall
I’ve been crying for too long
Now I'm waiting for the last tear fall

[Bridge]
Of all that used to be
But how do I give up all of my dreams?
Maybe then my heart will be free
’Cause when I let you go
You'll just be someone I used to know
I used to know
I used to know
Hey, yeah

[Chorus]
Waiting for the last tear to fall
I've been crying for too long
Now I'm waiting, waiting for the last tear to fall
For the last tear
I need to move on
Gotta get on with my life
Waiting for the last tear
I don’t need this pain
I don't need you no more
Not again
I've gotta move on
Gotta go now
