(Ben Peters - Vivian Keith)

I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

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
And I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that he 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 every teardrop that you cried
If he ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls...
