I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' That it won't be long before it's crying time Oh, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder And that tears are only rain to make love grow Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger If I lived to be a hundred years old Oh, it's crying time again you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' That it won't be long before it's crying time Oh, you say that you found someone you love better That's the way it's happened every time before And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow Crying time will start when you walk out the door Oh, it's crying time again you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' That it won't be long before it's crying time I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' That it won't be long before it's crying time
