Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Making believe you love me only
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love)
But I will never fall in love again
Cause only my heart feels the pain
Feels the pain
Why must I trod
This lonely, lonely road?
Why must I carry
This heavy, heavy load?
Making believe you love me only
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love) was my great sin
(Just love) was my great sin
I'll never fall in love again
Cause only my heart feels the pain
Feels the pain, sad pain
I will never fall in love again
Cause only my heart feels the pain
Feels the pain
Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Why must I trod
This lonely, lonely, lonely road?
Why must I carry
This heavy, heavy, heavy load?
Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Why must I cry
These tears from mine eyes?
Why must I trod
This lonely, lonely, lonely road?
Why must I carry
This heavy, heavy, heavy load?
