It Was A Tear - The Drifters/Clyde McPhatter/Rhythmakers Lyrics by:Oliver It was a tear It was a tear in her eyes in her eyes That have made me That have made me realize realize That at last I have found my true love And I'll never ever let her go She placed my hand She placed my hand on her heart on her heart I felt the flame I felt the flame of Roman star of Roman star She said no no don't ever let me go More than anything I love you so We say holding hands we kissed once or twice We were in paradise Now she's my girl Now she's my girl and I'm her boy And I'm her boy The tear I saw The tear I saw was a tear of joy Was a tear of joy Through the years our love will grow and grow Still I remember the tear in her eye Now she's my girl Now she's my girl and I'm her boy And I'm her boy The tear I saw The tear I saw was a tear of joy a tear of joy Through the years our love will grow and grow Still I remember the tear in her eye
