Music has always helped me cope
Always gave me hope
Now I sit at my piano
And cry
Tears
For the memories
The good
The bad
They both flood my eyes with tears

We used to escape outside
We were able to release
What was on the inside
Now I sit on the front porch
And cry
Tears for the good times
All your love
All your smiles
They both flood my eyes with tears

I still see you
Right behind me
You beg me to come and play
But I politely say "Go away"
Why did I ever let you slip
Through the cracks of my life?
Now I sit here
And cry

Tears of pain
Tears of gladness
Tears of love
And tears of sadness
Every tear I ever cry
Are tears
For you
