DROWNIN' MY SORROWS
(Hank Hunter / Stan Vincent)

Connie Francis - 1963


(I'll keep drownin' my sorrows over you)

I was happy when you were my true love
Now I find that I'm losin' my mind
Cause they told me that you found a new love
Now I know that the fates are unkind

That's why I'm drownin' my sorrows
Facing lonely tomorrows
Drownin' my sorrows in an ocean of tears
My broken heart keeps recallin'
As my teardrops keep fallin'
That I'm drownin' my sorrows over you

-Instrumental Break-

Now I know that my bridges are burnin'
Cause there'll never be no one else for me
So I pray, darlin' soon you'll be returnin'
And you'll break these chains of love and set me free

Till then I'm drownin' my sorrows
Facing lonely tomorrows
Drownin' my sorrows in an ocean of tears
My broken heart keeps recallin'
As my teardrops keep fallin'
That I'm drownin' my sorrows over you

Yes, I'm drownin' my sorrows over you
