A Tear Fell
Sally Vaughn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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

A tear fell
I cried
When you told me
After you informed me
That your love for me was through
That you no longer loved me
That you found somebody new
That you had met someone else
That your love was not for me
That you did not feel affection for me
I didn't miss the teardrop
You didn't notice that I cried
But I miss you constantly
But I still miss you all the time
A fool am I
I am foolish
In love
Because I am in love with you
As you stepped out
When you left
And you danced across the floor
And you moved gracefully while walking away
Because that's
Because that’s how
How my heart felt
That’s how I felt emotionally
Yes, when you walked through the door
Yes, as soon as you came in
That your love for me had died
That your feelings of love for me had stopped
Darling
My dearest
Have I lost you
Did I lose you
Like the teardrop from my eyes?
Like how the teardrop fell from my eyes
