Lyrics

VERSE
The bar was real long; a TV at each end
Lord knows, there were plenty of men
The music was loud; hell of a crowd
They were laughing, but she started to cry

First CHORUS
She had a tear in her eye
Fell to her cheek; she wanted to die
Her only love had just told her goodbye
If anyone saw the tears, they did not know why
She had a tear in her eye

VERSE
There was warmth all around, but she felt a chill
She stared at her glass; it was too full to fill
She needed a shoulder, someone to care
But no one noticed the sting in the air

Repeat First CHORUS/BRIDGE
Just as she started to let the tears flow
She saw in the mirror all she needed to know

Second CHORUS
She had a tear in her eye
Fell to her cheek, but he wiped it dry
Her only love was back in her life
When he smiled, said “hi,” she still cried
She had a tear in her eye

SOLO/Repeat Second CHORUS/TAG
Yes, she had a tear in her eye
