[Verse 1]
Baby, though I'm leaving, don't you cry
I'm the one that's grieving, you know why
Love is 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]
Gotta say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Gotta say goodbye (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

[Refrain]
Please don't ask me why (Don't ask why)
Please don't ask me why (Don't ask why)
[Verse 2]
Baby, though I'm leaving, don't you cry
I'm the one that's grieving, you know why
Broken dreams and promises
That's the way love always is

[Refrain]
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes
Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes

[Verse 3]
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]
Please don't ask me why (Don't ask why)
Please don't ask me why (Don't ask why)

[Outro]
Sweet tears keep falling from your eyes
Falling from your eyes, from your eyes
Sweet tears keep falling from your eyes
