One tear won't make a heart break one tear won't make a heart ache
If the tear I shed today is all I'll have to pay
One tear is all I've cried for you

I thought I'd never live without the tender love we shared
But absence only showed my heart I'll never really care
I'm glad that it's all over now I'm glad that we are through
One tear is all I've cried for you

One tear won't make a heart break...
[ mandolin ]
I'll live a happy life again and have my dreams come true
My heart will bounce right back again and never think of you
Then when you'll come asking me to take you back again
One tear is all I'll cry for you

One tear won't make a heart break...
[ banjo ]
One tear won't make a heart break...
