Lyrics

VERSE
The bar was real long; a TV at each end
She could have had most any of the 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
A tear dropped; 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 what she needed to know

Second CHORUS
She had a tear in her eye
A tear dropped, 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
