Lyric

How many tears do you cryIf love should break your heart in twoHow many tears will I cryNow that I know I’m losing you
I can’t stop wanting youAnd no matter what you doYou’re still a part of meEven though I’m losing you, oh
How many years will go byBefore my heart begins to mendWaiting and wondering whyI never thought our love could end
I try forgetting youBut you’re still here on my mindIt would take a miracleBut someday maybe I’ll find
That I’m in the loving arms of someoneThat I’ll know, know he’s the someoneWho’ll kiss all the heartache awayAnd come that dayI won’t mind losing you
Yes, I try forgetting youBut you’re still here on my mindIt would take, yeah, a miracleBut someday maybe I’ll find
That I’m in the loving arms of someoneThat I’ll know, know he’s the someoneWho’ll kiss all the heartache awayAnd when he comes to me that dayI won’t mind losing you, oh, ohI won’t mind losing you, yeahI won’t mind losing you
