Sweet Tears
[Verse 1]
Baby, though I'm leaving, don't you cry
I'm the one that's grieving, you know why
Love is like a wild bird you can't tie
Free to stay forever or to fly
Though my heart will always stay
Gotta make my getaway

[Refrain]
Got to say goodbye
Got to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
That's the only trouble with goodbyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
That's the only trouble with goodbyes

[Post-Chorus]
Broken dreams and promises
That's the way love always is

[Outro]
Please, please, please don't ask me why
Please don't ask me why
