I gave her a pearl on a chain for a gift Said "It's called a love drop And my heart is in it Please wear it every day And at night-time, too To prove your love Is always true" She wore the little love drop Both day and night Showing her love Very plainly in sight Never taking it off Even to sleep Knowing my love The love drop would keep Then one day, the chain broke And I felt an uncertain fear Then within a week I started to weep For she'd found somebody new Her pearl on it's chain Is no longer seen She put it away With the rest of our dream The love drop is not What I meant it to be It's a lonely teardrop A teardrop for me
