Many Tears Ago Lyrics

A long time ago in a far off place
I got caught up in a pretty place
Diamond eyes that stole my heart away
I was young and so naive
I never thought that you'd ever leave
But you packed your bags and left for Santa Fe
And now you're at my door again
Askin' me to take you in
But darlin' this time things won't work that way

Many tears ago, I thought I loved you
Many tears ago, I thought my heart could never break
But oh, the pain you put me through
Was more than I could take
So take your memory and go
'Cause that was many tears ago

Time goes by and feeling fade
But I still have my lonely days
When I can't help myself for feelin' blue
'Cause Lord knows I've tried to forget
But sometimes I still lie in bed
Close my eyes and all I see is you
But you never felt the way I did
So I tell myself again
Just what tonight I'm tellin' you

Chorus

Many tears ago
Many tears ago
