Tonight I’m so lonesome heartbroken and blue
I’d give all this world one more to see you
Each night my pillow from tears is all wet
I’m cryin’ my heart out these tears of regret
Tears of Regret I’m shedding for you
To wallow in my heart no good would it do
Tears that are fallin’ won’t make you return
Tears of regret while alone I must yearn
If you’re ever lonely and think about me
Remember my darlin’ no pleasure I’ll see
I look to the future through tears of regret
I’ve lost you forever but I’ll not forget
Come back to me darlin’ I’m waitin’ for you
I promise forever this time to be true
I lost a treasure more precious than gold
Now tears of regret is my payment I know
