, , ,  x4
See  the tears run down  her face
Unhappy  in her happy place
And  what it is I think  I know
 She’s trying  hard to let  him go
 She goes
These  tears are all I have
 They’re all I have
 To remind  me
 These sweet tears  are all I have
 They’re all I have
These  tears are all I have
 They’re all I have
 To remind  me
 These sweet tears  are all I have
 They’re all I have
Falling  gently they  begin
Soft  and salty on  her skin
She  keeps them coming through  the night*
If  only I could make  it right
But  she doesn’t want these tears  to stop
She’d  rather he were  there than not
And  they can be his epitaph**
And  if she didn’t cry  she’d laugh
 She’d laugh
 Instr: , , ,  x4
These  tears are all I have
 They’re all I have
 To remind  me
 These sweet tears  are all I have
 They’re all I have
