Many tears ago you said you loved me
Oh, how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
And the sun went down, no more to shine
Many tears ago was in the springtime
When you said goodbye and went away
Oh, how well this aching heart remembers
Many, many tears ago today
Many tears ago I built a castle
I built it very strong and very tall
Though I thought it had a firm foundation
Many tears ago I saw it fall
Many tears ago was in the springtime
When you said goodbye and went away
Oh, how well this aching heart remembers
Many, many tears ago today
