One day you're happy the next day you're blue
You feel like the whole world's comin' right down on you
There ain't nothin' wrong but then there ain't nothin' right
It's just the kind of thing that keeps you up all night

Heavy tears in your eyes
Lord, don't they hurt you when you cry
Heavy tears in your eyes
And when they hit the ground
Don't they make a terrible sound?

Maybe she loves you and maybe it's a joke
And maybe that fire was just a whole lot of smoke
You don't feel warm but then you don't feel cold
You're just gettin' weary you're just gettin' old

Heavy tears in your eyes
Lord, don't they hurt you when you cry
Heavy tears in your eyes
And when they hit the ground
Don't they make a terrible sound?

And your mind can't take this worry
And your heart feels underfed
Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow
Or maybe you'll just stay in bed
Don't call the doctor and ask his advice
'Cause he's felt the same way himself once or twice
And there ain't no cure for the tear in your eye
You just gotta sit there you just gotta cry

Heavy tears in your eyes
Lord, don't they hurt you when you cry
Heavy tears in your eyes
And when they hit the ground
Don't they make a terrible sound?..
