Song Lyric Sunday: Crying/Sadness 20th January

Posted on January 20, 2019 by pensitivity101

First thoughts were The Big O and ‘Crying’, or the King’s Crying in the Chapel, so I thought I’d try to provide something a bit different.

I remember my sister was forever playing The Mersey’s Sorrow way back in 1966 which actually drove me nuts. David Bowie did a cover in 1973 which I thought was better.
However, crying means tears, so I’m going with that.

This is for my Mum.
She loved to hear Ken Dodd sing, preferring that to his wacky sense of humour and the Diddymen, which she didn’t like at all.
Tears, written by Billy Uhr and Frank Capano, was released in 1965 and made the number one spot in the UK charts where it stayed for five weeks. It was one of the top selling records of that year.

Tears

Tears for souvenirs are all you left me
Memories of a love you never meant
I just can’t believe you could forget me
After all those happy hours we spent (together)

Tears have been my only consolation
But tears can’t mend a broken heart, I must confess
Let’s forgive and forget, turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

Tears have been my only consolation
But tears can’t mend a broken heart, I must confess
Let’s forgive and forget, turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

Let’s forgive and forget, turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    The lyrics tear me apart. “Tears for souvenirs are all you left me.” 😦
