You told me you don't love me
When you walked out the door
I stood there feeling lonely
Then the tears began to pour
What else could I do
I'd never felt like that before
So I cried an old blue river
In the middle of the floor
Now I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm crying night and day
Since you went away
The things you used to say
Honey, I no longer hear
That water's cold and clear
I'm drowning for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Well I found some old love letters
You wrote me years ago
But the words all ran together
When the tears began to flow
Cause you left that water running
Now it's got nowhere to go
If I can't wash away your memory
Guess I'll just go under slow
Cause I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin night and day
Since you went away
The things you used to say
Honey, I no longer hear
That water's cold and clear
I'm drowning for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Yeah, I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin night and day
Since you went away
The things you used to say
Honey, I no longer hear
That water's cold and clear
I'm drowning for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Yeah, the water's cold and clear
I'm drowning for you, dear
Up to my ears in tears
