Before the Next Teardrop Falls

Hank Locklin did this one way back in the day, then Freddy Fender did it later on, but this cover is based on the "original" original!

Lyrics:

If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness
That matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls




Tho' it hurts to let you go
Darling, I still love you so
That I'll stand by you
If ever you should call
And if I should ever hear
That he made you shed a tear
I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

I'll be there
Anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cried
If he ever leaves you blue
Just remember I love you
I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
Yes I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

You sound like a country artist. Thx.

[SlammedCobalt]

Very very nice. I do this song, & always give props to Duane Dee for being the "original" original,as is my understanding. Several popular artists released it at about the same time. Amazing nobody scored big with it 'til Freddy.

Man, I really loved this rendition. It has all the great qualities you'd find in a shit kicker bar singer. I kept wondering when the waitress would show up with the pitcher of beer I ordered.
