A Tear Fell
Teresa Brewer
Written by Dorian Burton and Eugene Randolph
Peaked at # 5 in 1956
Teresa Breuer's biggest hit of the rock era, released under her stage-name "Teresa Brewer."
Single b/w "Boll Weevil," which charted separately as a Top 20 hit.
White pop cover version of Ivory Joe Hunter's Top 20 R&B hit.
Later covered by Ray Charles as a Top 50 soul version in 1964.
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
A tear fell when I saw you in the arms of someone new
A tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
The teardrops that you stepped on as you danced across the floor
Were crushed like my poor heart was when you walked out of the door
A tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died
Darlin', have I lost you like these teardrops from my eyes?
A fool am I, a fool am I in love
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
