A Tear Fell - Solomon Burke

A tear fell when I saw you

In the arms of someone new

A tear fell when you left me

All alone and feeling blue

You know a tear fell when you told me

That your love was not for me

I didn’t miss these teardrops

But I missed you constantly

That’s why I’m

(A fool am I)

(A fool am I in love)

The teardrops that you stepped on

As you danced across the floor

You know they were crushed like my poor heart was

When you walked out of my door

I said a tear fell when you told me

That the flame in your heart died

Darling, have I lost you

Like these teardrops from my eyes

I’ve got to be a

(A fool am I)

But I’m so glad I’m a fool

(A fool am I in love)

I’m a fool in love
