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

that 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 any time you need me by your side to dry away

every teardrop that you cry 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.
