They tell me little darling
That tomorrow you'll be wed
You thought that you would hurt me
But you hurt yourself instead
I'll always be the same old pal
Just as in years gone by
I'll just set back and watch you
While you set alone and cry
Tears falling
Down your pretty cheeks
Tears you cannot hide
And tears you cannot keep
They are tears of sorrow
And tears of delight
I wish I had a nickel
For every tear you shed last night
I just dropped by to tell you
That I wish you happiness
I hope that you'll forgive me
For intruding like this
I hope my dear your happiness
Will follow through the years
I'll just set back and watch you
While you shed those bitter tears
Tears falling
Down your pretty cheeks
Tears you cannot hide
And tears you cannot keep
They are tears of sorrow
And tears of delight
I wish I had a nickel
For every tear you shed last night
