[Verse 1]
Such a little time has passed since you went away
Where are all these heartaches coming from?
I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today
And I know the worst is yet to come

[Chorus]
If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out and get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come

[Verse 2]
There'll be all those sleepless nights when I'll just lay and cry
And the hours seem to have no end
There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die
Wishing I could have you back again

[Chorus]
If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out and get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come
