ONE TEARDROP AT A TIME
(Eddie Miller / Betty West)


Wanda Jackson - 1962



(One teardrop, one teardrop)

I know that I've cried a lot today 
And my heart's gonna hurt the same old way
'Cause I'm losin' the love I thought was mine
The heartache's come one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time keeps tellin' me
That it won't be long until you'll be leavin' me
When you go I'm gonna cry one more time
I'll take back my heart one teardrop at a time

(One teardrop)

No matter how many tears I cry
That old familiar feelin' stays inside
My heart for you won't leave just anytime
I'll cry you from my heart one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time keeps tellin' me
That it won't be long until you'll be leavin' me
When you go I'm gonna cry one more time
I'll take back my heart one teardrop at a time

(One teardrop, one teardrop, one..........FADE)
