Tear up the sheet of music,
Let it float down the swelling river.
Cry as you watch it drift away.
Sway to the melody -
The song of wind stirring autumn leaves.
And kiss yesterday good-bye.
Make sure your life doesn't become
One broken promise after another,
Or a shower of shattered sentiments.
Simply praise the beauty of the tears
That fall from your reddened eyes,
As you toss the rose over your shoulder
And walk away.
