Counting Teardrops Lyrics

 

Counting Teardrops - Emile Ford/The Checkmates

Written by:Howard Greenfield

Ev'ryday I sit here a bawlin'

Just like a little kid

 

You told me to cry you a river

Believe it or not I did

 

'Cos I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep

Because I miss yeah yeah you so yeah yeah yeah

Since you're gone the teardrops flow

 

You told me I cry lonely teardrops

For treatin' you so mean

 

All I need to keep me from drownin'

Is a plumber or a submarine

'Cos I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep

Because I miss yeah yeah you so yeah yeah yeah

Since you've gone the teardrops flow

 

Forty days and forty nights

 

I sit here in the gloom

 

Well if you don't call or come back soon

 

I'm gonna drown in my living room

 

I hear tell they got seven oceans

 

Up to the present day

 

If you don't come back soon pretty baby

 

I'm gonna make it eight

 

'Cos I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep

Because I miss yeah yeah you so yeah yeah yeah

Since you've gone the teardrops flow

 

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep

Because I miss yeah yeah you so yeah yeah yeah

Since you've gone the teardrops flow

 

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep

 

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep

 

 

Honey honey I just can't sleep
