Lyrics
?WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL?
© 1999 LONG/BOUCHER
SHE WAITED BY HERSELF AT A TABLE SET FOR TWO.
SHE WORE HER FAVORITE DRESS FOR THIS MEETING WITH SOMEONE NEW.
TWO HOURS SHE WAITED, HE DIDN?T EVEN GIVE HER A CALL.
IT?S JUST ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.
THE REFLECTION STARING BACK SHOWED A FACE FILLED WITH DOUBT.
AS SHE TOUCHED UP HER MAKE UP TRYING TO LIFT THAT CLOUD.
MAYBE ANOTHER DRINK WILL KEEP HER FROM FEELING SO SMALL.
IT?S JUST ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.
BRIDGE:
AS THE WAITRESS TAKES HER ORDER.
A FAMILIAR VOICE CALLS OUT HER NAME.
STIRS AN OLD EMOTION.
OF A TIME WHEN SHE PLAYED LOVERS GAMES.
A TIME IN HER LIFE SHE CAN HARDLY REMEMBER AT ALL.
WAY BEFORE SHE KNEW WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.
SHE GLANCED UP TO SEE SOMEONE SHE HADN?T THOUGHT ABOUT FOR AWHILE.
HE LOOKED A LITTLE OLDER, BUT STILL HAD THAT CHARMING SMILE.
OH HOW SHE WOULD TEASE HIM, THEN HE?D CHASE HER DOWN THE SCHOOL HALL.
ONCE UPON A TIME THEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.
BRIDGE:
ENCHANTED BY THE MOMENT
OF SEEING A LONG LOST FRIEND.
HE WAS HER PRINCE CHARMING.
THEY HAD SWORN TO LOVE UNTIL THE END.
HE SAID, ?WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? OH I MISSED YOU SINCE THE BALL.?
?MISSING YOU HAS TAUGHT ME, WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.?
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHEN A TEARDROP HAS TO FALL.
