(Jenny Lou Carson)      Many tears ago you said you'd love me   Oh, how happy was this heart of mine   Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere   And the sun went down no more to shine.      Many tears ago I learned too well love   What it means to bear a heavy load   I found out just what has meant by sorrow   Many tears ago along life's road.      Many tears ago I built a castle   Built it very strong and very tall   Though I thought it has a firm foundation   Many tears ago I saw it fall.      Many times I've wished that I would die love   Better to be dead than feel so low   All I ever lived or ever hoped for   Left me many many tears ogo.      --- Instrumental ---      Many tears ago you called me darling   In my dreams I hear you say it now   I can almost feel your arms around me   Arms that never meant to keep the vow.      Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime   When you said goodbye and went away   Oh, how well this aching heart remembers   Many, many tears ago today...
