A long time ago in a far off place I got caught up in a pretty place Diamond eyes that stole my heart away I was young and so naive I never thought that you'd ever leave But you packed your bags and left for Santa Fe And now you're at my door again Askin' me to take you in But darlin' this time things won't work that way Many tears ago, I thought I loved you Many tears ago, I thought my heart could never break But oh, the pain you put me through Was more than I could take So take your memory and go 'Cause that was many tears ago Time goes by and feeling fade But I still have my lonely days When I can't help myself for feelin' blue 'Cause Lord knows I've tried to forget But sometimes I still lie in bed Close my eyes and all I see is you But you never felt the way I did So I tell myself again Just what tonight I'm tellin' you Chorus Many tears ago
