Jean Shepard
"Tear Dropped By"

(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.

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...
