Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wall of Tears
Subject: Lyr Add: WALL OF TEARS (from Frances Black)
Copied from http://www.angelfire.com/nc/KtOslinFans/80sLadies.html, a K. T. Oslin site, but "you" changed to "him" to agree with the way Frances Black sings it.

WALL OF TEARS
(Richard Leigh/Peter McCann)

Looking out my window, staring through the pain
I can't see the rainbow for the rain
Someday I'll forget him. "Life goes on," they say,
But they don't know what's standing in my way.

CHORUS: And there's a wall of tears I've got to get over.
Got to stop thinking of him. Got to learn not to love him.
I know the sun will shine and I'm gonna be fine,
But until then, the rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears.

Another morning finds me still not over you
Just another day to stumble through
Nights go on forever. I've got nothing but time.
Even time can't mend this heart of mine. CHORUS

[Recorded by K. T. Oslin on "80's Ladies," 1987, and "At Her Best," 1998; and by Frances Black on the anthology, "A Woman's Heart," 1993, and "Frances Black and Kieran Goss," 1994.]
