The Tear Of The Year

Jackie Wilson

I never thought I'd see, 
You turn your back on me, 
And taste another kiss with such delight.

It hurt me so inside, 
Oh Lord, 
I musta' cried, 
The tear of the year, 
Last night.

And darlin'
When I heard, 
That final, crushing word, 
That someone else's arms would hold you tight., 
I wished that I was dead.

Oh Lord, 
You konow I shed, 
The tear of the year, 
Last night.

I built my whole world around you, 
By each and every dream.
And now you're slipping, 
Through my fingers, 
Like the ripples, 
In a stream.

Oh! 
Oh darlin', 
You can say, 
Our love has seen it's day.
But I'll forever go on feelin' blue.

I feel the hurt inside, 
I felt the night I cried, 
The tear of the year, 
Over you.

Oh! 
The tear, 
Of the year, 
Oh! 
Over you.
