When The First Tear Shows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold my hand girl much tighter, much much tighter
'Cause what I've got to say I only hope and pray
Comes out as well as I rehearsed it yesterday
And baby when the first tear shows
It's a sign for you to go
And baby when the first tear shows
It's a sign for you to go and leave her alone
With the broken dreams that she owns
It's a crime for me to tell you
It's a sin for me to stay
And I'll never look behind me
When I start to walk away
Firl I'm sorry but it's all that I can say
you know that I used to love you so
Enjoy every moment together
Well I'm not the kind of man
To forever hold your hand
And I've said as much as I should say
