Lyrics

DON’T LET HER TEARS GET IN YOUR WAY

“Ending is better than mending!”
You read that in a book.
Those are the signals you’re sending,
Loud and clear with that look.

It takes work to make this all work,
But you’re too tired to try.
Hand some cash to the airline clerk;
Say, “I’m ready to fly!”

Go tell her that you’re leavin’.
Don’t let her tears get in your way.
Tell her you’re done deceivin’.
Don’t let her tears get in your way.

Got your picture in her locket,
Thinks you’re her special guy.
One-way ticket in your pocket,
Wanderlust in your eye.

Say what you came here to say;
Don’t let her tears get in your way.
Tell her you’re leavin’ today;
Don’t let her tears get in your way.

One lonely tear rolls down her cheek
As you get ready to speak …
You could listen to her laughter
Until this world grows cold and dark;
Live in the light of her eyes
From here to the hereafter;
Treasure that last spark;
And as the twilight dies,
Drown in her last tear drop.

Tell her that you’ve missed her;
Don’t let her tears get in your way.
Hold her close and kiss her;
Don’t let her tears get in your way.

Hold her close and say you’ll stay;
Tell her your love is true.
Trade in that old one-way
For a round-trip ticket for two.
