Dolly Parton - Time and Tears

I didn't cry all of these tears just
To have you show up here again
I didn't lie awake all these nights to
Have you come walking back in
I didn't change my whole life around
Not to mention my dreams and my plans
To have you come back with your same
Old act thinking that I'll understand

Time and tears have mended the pain
Healed all the hurt and changed everything
Time and tears I'm happy to say
Time and tears have washed it away
Time and tears have washed you away

I didn't think that I would survive the
Day that you walked out on me
I truly was more dead than
Alive and the pain, lord I couldn't believe
I asked God to please have mercy on me
And to ease all the feelings I felt
Then I saw the light
Now I'm more than alright
I'm much better off since you left

Time and tears is all that it takes
To mend shattered hopes or a
Heart when it breaks
Time and tears have carried me through
Time and tears got me over you
Time and tears and somebody new
Time and tears is all that it takes
To mend shattered hopes or a
Heart when it breaks
Time and tears have carried me through
Time and tears got me over you
Time and tears and somebody new

Time and tears
Time and tears got me over you
Time and tears, got me over you
