Sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tears
Four and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
When your lover leaves you, a heart begins to break
Such a lot of heartache for someone like me to take
So sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tears
Four and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
I lived in a happy world, he was with me there
Then she stole my happiness, now my world is bare
So sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tears
Four and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
Now he lives in her world, while I cry in mine
Counting all the teardrops, just to pass away the time
So sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tears
Four and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
Four and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
