There’s a tear in my eye and I‘m wondering why
For it never should be there at all
Lost in a dream of the days gone by
But never should a teardrop fall

Well, a broken heart will cease to yearn
For the love that used to be
But I don’t feel sad for the time we had
It was the best time for you and me

I swear I’ll ne’er forget
The one I love
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
When the world seemed bright and gay
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
The one I love
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
When the world seemed bright and gay

But all the girls
I‘ve ever loved did not stay
They‘re gone away
