Johnny Farnham - Looking Through A Tear (1970 Original Recording)

From the 1970 album of the same name that also featured his hits "Raindrops" and "One"
Lyrics:
When love leaves & breaks your heart,
Your dreams simply fall apart.
You see a world sad & blue,
So unfamiliar to you.
You look for lips that you once kissed,
But they're lost in mist.
Oh oh oh oh it's funny
How nothing seems quite so clear,
When you're looking through a tear.
The face in the crowd
You see is her face.
All seems to fade in the shade of her glory.
And you wait for the chance
To catch another glance,
But she really wasn't there.
Her words linger in your ear.
Goodbye is all that you can hear.
It couldn't happen to you,
But all at once love is through.
It's funny
How nothing seems clear,
When you're looking through a tear.
