"Tears on My Pillow" is a doo-wop song written by Sylvester Bradford and Al Lewis in 1958. The composition was first recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials on End Records and was that group's debut recording under that name. Their original recording of the song became a Billboard Top 10 Pop smash, peaking at #4, and was The Imperials' first million-seller. It was also a two-sided hit, with its flip side, "Two People in the World," also becoming a major hit. Although it remains one of the Imperials' signature songs, "Tears on My Pillow" has been extensively covered, including a #1 version by Kylie Minogue in 1990.
Early copies of the single were credited simply to "The Imperials," a group which had previously been known as "The Duponts" and "The Chesters." Brooklyn, New York deejay Alan Freed gave the group's lead singer, Anthony Gourdine, top billing while introducing the single over the air and the moniker of "Little Anthony and the Imperials" stuck.
"Tears on My Pillow" was a #4 hit single in the United States. Selling over a million copies, "Tears on My Pillow" was the most successful single of the Imperials' doo wop period. Its success would be matched only by the Imperials' 1964 single "Goin' Out of My Head."
Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE ( /ˈkaɪliː mɨˈnoʊɡ/; born 28 May 1968) — often known simply as Kylie — is an Australian singer, recording artist, songwriter, showgirl, and actress. After beginning her career as a child actress on Australian television, she achieved recognition through her role in the television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. This led to a contract with songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Her debut album, Kylie (1988), and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten. Her debut film, The Delinquents (1989) was a box-office hit in Australia and the UK, and received generally positive reviews.
Initially presented as a "girl next door", Minogue attempted to convey a more mature style in her music and public image. Her singles were well received, but after four albums her record sales were declining, and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994, and a duet with Nick Cave, "Where the Wild Roses Grow", brought Minogue a greater degree of artistic credibility. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical styles and artists, Minogue took creative control over the songwriting for her next album, Impossible Princess (1997). It failed to attract strong reviews or sales in the UK, but was successful in Australia.

(Ba ba da da Ba ba da da) Can't hide all the pain inside.
Love can't hide

Verse Two (2)
Am I wrong for love that is lost and found
Lookin for someone to make the claim (ohh tell me)
Why am I an example of heart turned cold
looking for someone to take the blame
will nobody take it from me baby
Reflections of your siloet fell asleep
at the corner of my bed I try to close my eyes
and go to sleep still I see you in my dreams.
Chours
Hook
See you can't hide your pain
All my dreams of love have arrived your paradise
As the weeks turn to months and so many sleepless nights
For the day I prayed my tears are wipped away
you hold me in your loving arms always.
Chorus
Repeat hook
All my dreams of love have arrived your paradise
As the weeks turn to months and so many sleepless nights

I think I finally understand
How you could love someone and leave them.
It must be hard to be a man
Holding back so many feelings.
I saw you slip away
Long before you gave reasons
Couldn't hold you down if you wanted to go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I didn't wanna even care
I didn't wanna even miss you
Cause you told me you'd be there
Now should I even try to reach you?
I look in the mirror
I see your face in mine
And it's much clearer now
I need you in my life
But, each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I see it in your eyes
Your laugh is a disguise
It used to be magic to me
You're giving me no choice
I hear it in your voice
And it's so sad to me
But I think forgiveness is the season
Wish you could stay I have my reasons
I'm still trying to hold on
To something that's gone
Can't make you stay here with me
Oh but each time I try,
It's like I'm crying in vain
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
You don't remember me,
But I remember you
Was not so long ago,
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back,
And tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
Love is not a gadget,
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you love,
You'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew,
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back,
And tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow,
Pain in my heart,
Caused by you,
You don't remember me, but I remember you
T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
We were so happy when love lingered on back in our sweet used to be
But now it's all over and you were gone leaving a sad memory
And there's tears on my pillow each morning I cry when I dream about you
When I should be sleeping I just lay there weeping wondering if you're weeping too
I'm trying so hard to forget you but that's not so easy to do
With these tears on my pillow each morning tears that I've shed over you
Tears on my pillow each morning...
(you know there are) tears on my pillow
Tears on my pillow
You don't remember me
But I remember you
Swa-ooh swa-ooh

Now it's official
You're out of my life
Too many tears I've cried
I'm leaving the moments
Behind on the shelf
Believing in you
Was hard for myself
All your apologizes
Outside the door
I can't waste my time on you anymore
I've fallen much deeper than this before
There's no tears on my pillow
No room for crying
No tears on my pillow
I left them behind
And I found me a better place
Somewhere inside
And I know I won't cry these tears any more
Can't say I'm selfish
I trust in my heart
I know what I want
And it tears you apart
Don't worry about me
Thinking of you
My days are filled
With too much to do
The whole world is waiting
For me to explore
I can't waste my time on you anymore
I've fallen much deeper than this before
No regrets, no sadness
You're not the first and you're not the last man
Somehow you had me trapped in your web
But it won't be raining
When I hang my head down, oh
No tears on my pillow
I left them behind
And I found me a better place
Somewhere inside
And I know I won't cry these tears
Won't cry these tears anymore, ooh
Tears on my pillow, ooh
