A Tear Fell
Sally Vaughn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A tear fell
When you told me
That your love for me was through

A tear fell
When you told me
That you found somebody new
A tear fell
When you told me
That your love was not for me

I didn't miss the teardrop
But I miss you constantly

A fool am I
A fool am I
In love

A tear fell
As you stepped out
And you danced across the floor

Because that's
How my heart felt
Yes, when you walked through the door

A tear fell
When you told me
That your love for me had died

Darling
Have I lost you
Like the teardrop from my eyes?

A fool am I
A fool am I
In love

A tear fell
When you told me
That your love for me had died

Darling
Have I lost you
Like the teardrop from my eyes?

A fool am I
A fool am I
In love
