Ouvi esta song pela primeira vez em 1968 e fiquei passado, uma canção bem construída, com uma linha harmónica elementar e muito bonita. Pena é que Tears,tears, tears, não seja indicada em lado nenhum, aqui no Youtube, pela peimeira vez, vamos ter esta song maravilhosa.

Tears, Tears, Tears
Ben E. King
Just before the sun
Is ready to say goodnight
And the moon comes out of hiding
To share his light
I think about the things
We used to do
The way you held me
When our love was new
But it's no use in going
Back through the years
There's nothing left for me
But tears, tears, tears, tears
Everywhere I go it seems
I see your smiling face
But when I get home
There's nothing but empty space
That single cigarette
We used to share
The time we wasted
When I thought you cared
How can I face this life
Without you near
A life that only holds
Tears, tears, tears, tears
Who'd ever thought we would be
Going, going our separate ways
We promised love forever
But where, oh, where is love today
Do do do do....
Darling, if you'd
Ever change your mind
Come back and we will
Leave the past behind
I'll wipe away your doubt
Dispel all your fears
But please don't leave me here
With tears, tears, tears, tears
But even though my heart is breaking
I wish you love
May you find the happiness
That we both dreamed of
