Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
Many tears ago I saw it fall
Many tears ago I built a castle
All I ever lived or ever hoped for
Many times I've wished that I would die
When you said goodbye and went away
Many tears ago I learned too well
Left me many many tears ago
In my dreams I hear you say it now
Oh how well this aching heart remembers
Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime
I can almost feel your arms around me
Arms that never meant to keep the vow
Many tears ago you called me darling
By sorrow many tears ago along life's road
I found out just what has meant
And the sun went down no more to shine
Love what it means to bear a heavy load
Love better to be dead than feel so low
Though I thought it had a firm foundation
Built it very strong and very tall
