I'll set my teardrops to music I'll write a sad sad song So that those who are broken hearted can sing along I'll set my teardrops to music I want the whole world to hear The lyrics of love's slowly language when life's dearest dreams disappear The verse will reveal a love that was real teardrops of joy they'll be But in the refrain tears of pain will etch out my melody Each rhyme will relate to a romance I held but just couldn't hold When I set my teardrops to music to be strung on the strings of my soul The verse will reveal a love that was real... When I set my teardrops to music to be strung on the strings of my soul
