Darling, I’ll be leaving soon, but until then, Please don’t cry a single tear As long as I’m still near, For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone. [Chorus] There’ll be time enough for tears when you’re lonely, And you wake to find that I’m not by your side, But then when I return I’ll be bringing you a kiss For every single tear that you’ve cried. [Verse 2] Come and let me look at you a little longer. I can feel the love we share keep growing stronger. I don’t want to see you cry Even when we say good bye, For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone. [Chorus] There’ll be time enough for tears when you’re lonely, And you wake to find that I’m not by your side, But then when I return I’ll be bringing you a kiss For every single tear that you’ve cried. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] Let me hold you one more time before I leave you. Please believe that while I’m gone, I won’t deceive you. Girl, don’t let those teardrops start And bring sadness to my heart, For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone. [Chorus] There’ll be time enough for tears when you’re lonely, And you wake to find that I’m not by your side, But then when I return I’ll be bringing you a kiss For every single tear that you’ve cried. [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] There’ll be time enough for tears when you’re lonely, And you wake to find that I’m not by your side, But then when I return I’ll be bringing you a kiss For every single tear that you’ve cried.
