tear by tear

Lynn Anderson

Kiss by kiss I fell in love with you beat by beat you stole my heart away
Then lie by lie you broke that heart in two tear by tear I'm crying my life away
Dream by dream my future tumble down hurt by hurt I weaken every day
Night after night you don't come around tear by tear I'm crying my life away
Memory by mem'ry I've tried to drive you from my mind
But each tick of the clock says I'm wasting my time
One by one my hopes have disappeared hour by lonely hour I know you come to stay
But wish by wish I keep wanting you here cause tear by tear I'm crying my life away
Tear by tear I'm crying my life away
