TEARDROPS OF REGRET
Written by Jim Reeves and Al Courtney
(Recorded c. Late 1949)


I look back into the past since we've parted;
The last few days seem like a million years;
Why was I so wrong and selfish-hearted;
A smile can't find its way through all these tears.

The whole world seems to know I've been unfaithful;
It's all my fault because we had to part;
It hurts me so, but do they know I'm thankful;
That I can pay with teardrops in my heart.

I wish that I could sell these tears I'm hiding;
Or trade a broken heart in on my debt;
But there's no sale for sorrow when you're cryin';
So I'm paying with teardrops of regret.
