Before the Next Teardrop Falls

Al Green

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
I'll stand by you if ever you 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 anytime that you need me by your side
To dry away each teardrop that you've cried
If he ever leaves you blue
Darling, 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

I'll be there, I'll be there
