If the jukebox took teardrops I'd dance all night long I'd sail away to yesterday on the wings of a song I'd close my eyes then hold you tight Till the blue light of dawn If the jukebox took teardrops I'd cry all night long My baby's gone, she left today And I got a feelin' she's gone to stay She said she needed money so I took out a loan Now both my little honey and my money are gone If the jukebox took teardrops it would play a hurtin' song If the jukebox took teardrops I'd cry all night long Mister Barkeep, my old friend Close the door and lock me in Just let me spend the evening out on the floor Missin' her and wishin' her back once more If the jukebox took teardrops I'd dance all night long I'd sail away to yesterday on the wings of a song I'd close my eyes then hold you tight Till the blue light of dawn If the jukebox took teardrops I'd cry all night long If the jukebox took teardrops I'd cry all night long
