Only tears are meant to fall Only once and that is all And when you start to lose the fight And nothing else will make it right Only hearts are meant to break And when you make that last mistake And everything you tried to say But all the words got in the way Only God can hear you now When you make that final vow Say the words and say them loud Say the words that make you proud And when you lose someone you depend upon Only tears will fall And when you need a friend I will send you one Only tears are meant to fall Only tears are meant to fall Only once and that is all Only tears are meant to fall Only once and that is all Only tears are meant to fall Only once and that is all Only tears are meant to fall Only once and that is all
