Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Dolly Parton, David Hidalgo

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.

Though it hurts to let you go Darling, I want you to know

I’ll stand by you if ever you should call

And if I should ever hear

That he’s made you she’d 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’ve cried

And if he ever leaves you blue

Just remember that I love you

I’ll be there before the next teardrop falls.

I’ll be there before the next teardrop falls…
