Tear Dropped By

Jean Shepard · Jean Shepard and the Second Fiddles [Hilltop] [1975]

(Larry Lee - Rusty Adams)



A tear dropped by, a tear dropped by

This morning I found it in my eye

Honey, it should'nt be there

I hadn't planned to cry.



But I guess I should know by now

No matter how I try

Everytime I think of you

A tear drops by.



A tear drops by just to ask

How things have been

And before I can answer

It's invited all its friends.



Soon a crowd has gathered

Filling both my eyes

Everytime I think of you

A tear drops by.
