Casual Dots - "I'll Dry My Tears"
I'll dry my eyes for tonight
No more tears, no more sorrow
But I'll cry again tomorrow night
Because I need you so

These tears I cried for you
Are tears of loneliness
On bended knees I come to you
Because I need you so

Why must we break up?
Why can't we make up?
My heart
My heart is still on fire

Just lately it seems
You don't want me 'round
And I still need your love

And I'll dry my eyes for tonight
No more tears, no more sorrow
But I'll cry again tomorrow night
Because I need you so
