YESTERDAY’S TEARS
(Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb - 1944


Yesterday’s Tears are still falling
Yesterday’s dreams are still broken
Yesterday’s love is still living 
A love that will never be spoken

I’ve tried so hard to forget Dear
Tried not to spoil everything
You are the one who has given
But all you’ve received dear is pain

My life has been such a sorrow
My world has crumbled like clay
My heart has slowly been dieing
Since you told me goodbye that day

Instrumentals

Long wary years you have suffered
To keep from hurting someone
If only I could repay you
For all of the kind things you have done

You have inspired me my darling
Everything to you I owe
All I can say is I love you
So much more than anyone knows

So, Yesterday’s Tears are still falling
Yesterday’s dreams are still broken
Yesterday’s love is still living 
A love that will never be spoken
