Time out for tears Because I'm thinking of you; Time out for tears, My darling, now that we're through You know that I Never wanted our plan to end, And you know that I Would be willing to try again, Try again Time out for tears, My heart is yearning for you All through the years Here's what I'll do; I'm gonna spend my time, And dance and dine, Playing with somebody new, But there'll be time out for tears Whenever I think of you I'm gonna spend my time, And dance and dine, Playing with somebody new, But there'll be time out for tears Whenever I think of you
