The morning woke, the day was breakin' . . . she left me far behind She was gone, I couldn't take it . . . no more tears to cry. We gathered 'round her place of resting, for the last goodbye She lay in white like a dream unending, the saddened clouds they cried . . . Tears for all the joy we had Tears for all the pain All the years I have to live These Winter Tears, I'll cry for you until we meet again You gave me life, you gave me lovin' Showed me what love could bring And every night when I think about you I begin to sing . . . Tears for all the joy we had Tears for all the pain All the years I have to live These Winter Tears, I'll cry for you until we meet again Tears for all the joy we had Tears for all the pain These Winter Tears I have inside Will always cry your name. The years I have to live . . . These Winter Tears, I'll cry for you until we meet again
