Sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tearsFour and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely yearsWhen your lover leaves you, a heart begins to breakSuch a lot of heartache for someone like me to takeSo sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tearsFour and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely yearsI lived in a happy world, he was with me thereThen she stole my happiness, now my world is bareSo sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tearsFour and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely yearsNow he lives in her world, while I cry in mineCounting all the teardrops, just to pass away the timeSo sing a little song of heartache, a pillow full of tearsFour and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely yearsFour and twenty memories that have to last through the lonely years
