Countin’ Teardrops Lyrics by Barry Mann

Who Put the Bomp

0

Everyday I sit here a-bawlin'
Just like a little kid
You told me to cry you a river
Believe it or not, I did

'Cause I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep
Honey, honey, I just can't sleep
Because I miss a-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

'Cause I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep
Honey, honey, I just can't sleep
Because I miss 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

'Cause I've been countin' teardrops instead of sheep
Honey, honey, I just can't sleep
Because I miss you so (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
Since you've gone the teardrops flow

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep
Countin' teardrops instead of sheep
Countin' teardrops instead of sheep
