Where does a little tear come from where does a little tear come from
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart
That's where a little tear comes from
Where does the broken heart come from where does the broken heart come from
It comes when you find that you love the roving kind
That's where the broken heart comes from

Where does the roving kind come from where does the roving kind come from
From the wild and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the roving kind comes from

Where does the restless river come from where does the restless river come from
It comes from little tears that I shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from
Where does a little tear come from
