In the Middle of a Teardrop

Buck Owens · Tall Dark Stranger [1969]

I'm in the middle of a teardrop

I'm at the start of a loneliness

I'm at the stop of a happiness

I never dreamed it would come to this.



I'm on the break of a misery

I'm at the edge of reality

That I'm about to be a memory

I'm in the middle of a teardrop.



When our love affair went wrong

Well, I could feel it coming on

Hug by hug and kiss by kiss you slipped away

Now that great moment we once shared

Is disappearing in thin air

And it looks as if at times I'm on the way.



I'm in the middle of a teardrop

I'm at the start of a loneliness

I'm at the stop of a happiness

I never dreamed it would come to this.



Yes, I'm about to be a memory

I'm in the middle of a teardrop...
