NINE LITTLE TEARDROPS
(Ramsey Kearney)

Sue Thompson - 1961

Also recorded by: Vilma Santos




One little, two little, three little teardrops
Four, five, six little teardrops
Seven little, eight little, nine little teardrops
I cried over you

We wrote love notes like lovers do 
Like you love me and I love you 
I lost your love to someone new
And now my heart it cries for you

One (little teardrop), two (little teardrops), three little teardrops
Four (little teardrops), five (little teardrops), six little teardrops
Seven little, eight little, nine little teardrops
I cried over you

We went together like hand and glove
Yet everybody called it puppy love
Since the day you said bye bye
I sit alone and now I cry

One (little teardrop), two (little teardrops), three little teardrops
Four (little teardrops), five (little teardrops), six little teardrops
Seven little, eight little, nine little teardrops
I cried over you

(Sax Solo)

The tears that I've cried over you 
I note as stars up in the blue
I lost count a long time ago
When I think of you the teardrops flow

One (little teardrop), two (little teardrops), three little teardrops
Four (little teardrops), five (little teardrops), six little teardrops
Seven little, eight little, nine little teardrops
I cried over you
I cried over you
I cried over you
I cried over you
I cried over you
