They tell me, little darlin' that tomorrow you'll be
wed
You thought that you would hurt me but you hurt
yourself instead
I'll always be the same old pal just as in years gone by
I'll just sit back and watch you while you sit alone
and cry

Tears fallin' down your pretty cheek
Tears you cannot hide and tears you cannot keep
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight
I wish I had a nickel for every tear you shed last
night

I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you
happiness
I hope that you'll forgive me for intruding like this
I hope, my dear, your happiness will follow through
the years
I'll just sit back and watch you while you cry those
bitter tears

Tears fallin' down your pretty cheek
Tears you cannot hide and tears you cannot keep
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight
I wish I had a nickel for every tear you shed last
night
