Written by Hank Williams Capo First Fret The love that faded left me only tears Days that were happy turned into lonely years Vows that we made turned into lies My life is empty, my lonely heart cries I tried to forget that we'll never be Nothing left for me but dust in the breeze My way is lonely but I think I'm lost My love was wasted, I'm paying the cost Brown eyes, blue eyes they're all the same None are for me, I've lost their game Tomorrow has nothing but worries and cares The love that faded left me only tears Just like the rose your love faded away Now my lonely heart must break and pay Nothing now but heartaches through years The love that faded left me only tears
