Hootie & The Blowfish - Tears Fall Down Lyrics

Now I see the time we had before
Is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore
And I've learned that written words are not the same
As when you take the time to say it and let the clouds release the rain

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends
Yesterday's just something I can't mend
And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too
Now my tears fall down for you, for you

And I say one thing each day before I lay me down
I thank God for your sweet smile, although you're not around
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend
But, yesterday's just something I can't mend
'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too
Now my tears fall down for you, for you
