Too Many Tears in My Eyes

I Had a Nation - Ike & Tina Turner

I bet you looked handsome on your wedding day

So strong so fine so tall

Though I was standing in the church that day

And I couldn't see a thing at all

'Cause there were

Too many tears in my eyes

There were

Too much pain in my heart

Too many tears in my eyes

I just had to let the teardrops fall

I heard the fires starting to sing

And I whispered lover goodbye

And when the preacher said

I would place the ring

I tried so very hard not to cry

But there were

Too many tears in my eyes

There were

Too much pain in my heart oh yeah

Too many tears in my eyes

I just had to let the teardrops fall

Ouuuh ouuuh

Ouuuh ouuuh

I thought the preacher said

You're man and wife

Congratulations to you

Though people started

Throwing shoes and rice

But I was trying to get

A last look at you

But there were

Too many tears in my eyes

There were

Too much pain in my heart oh yeah

Too many tears in my eyes

I had just had to let the teardrops fall

There was

Too too too many tears in my eyes

Too much pain in my heart

Too many tears in my eyes

I had just had to let the teardrops fall

Too many tears in my eyes

Too much pain in my heart

Too many tears in my eyes

I had just had to let the teardrops fall

I said there was

Too many too many tears in my eyes

That was too much pain in my heart
