EI see through Ateardrops that old clock on the wall E  
The Dhands are Efar apart, they Dtell me Ethat my heart misses Ayou 
AmAnd you're not Awith me 
Guess it's Bmtime to Ecry, Bmyes it's Etime to Acry E  
I hear the doorbell, the postman just came by 
All he ever brings are bills and nothing things 
Oh no, he returned your letter 
And it's time to cry, yes it's time to cry 
ETime to cry, E7ever since Dyou said goodAbye 
C#mTime to Dcry, what else can I Ado but cry over Eyou? 
I just can't stand it the telephone won't ring 
The sun is out of sight another lonely night begins 
And you're not mine 
Guess it's time to cry, yes it's time to cry
