Candi Staton Before The Next Teardrop Falls
If she brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go
Darling I want you to know
I'll run to you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear
That she's 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 each teardrop that you've cried
If she ever leaves you blue
Just remember that I love you
You see, I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
Oh, yes I will, I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
