I Let a Tear Fall in the River

I Let A Tear Fall In The River (8181938) - Ella Fitzgerald

I let a tear fall in the river

And want my tear drop sail out to see

To find my love and bring him back to me

We shared a dream here by the river

My dream is gone and I'm all alone

Alone without a dream to call my own

Flow you river flow

Blow you breezes blow

Across the blue

Sail my teardrops sail

I'm beyond the pale

Tell him I've been through

I let a tear fall in the river

And want my tear drop sail out

To find my love and bring him back some day

Flow you river flow

Blow you breezes blow

Across the blue

Sail my teardrops sail

I'm beyond the pale

Tell him I've been through

Oh I let a tear fall in the river

And want my tear drop sailing away

Please find my love and bring him back some day

Oh little tear drops sailing away

Please find my love and bring him back some day

I let a tear I let a tear fall in the river
