You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'cause you're making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the tear drops
'cause you're making plans to leave

You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready ti grieve

I'm making plans to be lonesome
'cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'cause you're making plans to leave

There's a picture that i carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just "someone i used to know"
Just someone, i used to spend some time with
Just a flame, that's lost its glow
But i don't them of the nights i cried without you
I say just "someone i used to know"

Just someone, i used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them, how lost i am without you
I say just "someone i used to know"

I say just "someone i used to know"

We're holding on to nothing left to hold onto
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness
For the hard times we've been through

We've squeezed the life from every dream
And still go right on bluffin'
With really nothin' left to hold onto

Chorus:

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold onto
Lets be honest with each other
That's the least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victoms of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Repeat chorus

We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reason a plenty for goin
This i know, this i know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh i could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Wagon and dolly parton

An acre of diamonds i'd offer to you
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

Chorus

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

The tears that have fallen won
