LET THE TEARDROPS FALL
(Beam / Jiles / Stevenson)
as recorded by Patsy Cline
1958
Let the teardrops fall,
You said you wasn't gonna call;
You didn't love me at all,
So let the teardrops fall!
Since you've been gone
I've been so blue,
And I spend my time
Just a-thinkin' of you!
Well, I sit here at home
By my telephone,
Hopin' you will change your mind.
Well, it's you I dream of
And I need your love,
So tell me you'll be mine!
'Cause the sun doesn't shine
And the moon, it won't glow,
And these lonely nights
All pass too slow!
Sweet memories
I still recall,
But I miss you so,
So let the teardrops fall!
Well, I sit here at home
By my telephone,
Hopin' you will change your mind.
Well, it's you I dream of
And I need your love,
So tell me you'll be mine!
'Cause the sun doesn't shine
And the moon, it won't glow,
And these lonely nights
All pass too slow!
Sweet memories
I still recall,
But I miss you so,
So let the teardrops fall!
