It brings a tear,
   Into my eyes,
   When I begin,
   To realize,
   I've cried so much,
   Since you've been gone,
   I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
  
   I sit and cry,
   Just like a child
   My pouring tears
   Are runnin' wild
   If you don't think
   You'll be home soon
   I guess I'll drown in my own tears
  
   I know it's true
   Into each life
   Some rain, rain must pour
   I'm so blue
   Here without you
   It keeps raining
   More and more
  
   Why don't you
   Come on home
   Oh yes so I won't
   Be all alone
   If you don't think
   You'll be home soon
  
   I guess I'll
   (drown in my own tears)
   Ooh, don't let me
   (drown in my own tears)
   When I'm in trouble, baby
   (drown in my own tears)
   Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
   (drown in my own tears)
   I guess I'll drown in my own tears
   Oh, mmmmm.
