About Another Tear Falls

"Another Tear Falls" is a song written by Burt Bacharach with lyrics by Hal David which was first a song for the American singer Gene McDaniels in 1962 for the British film It's Trad, Dad! as well as the flip side of his hit single "Chip Chip" and was later recorded and released by the American pop group The Walker Brothers as their seventh UK single in 1966. The accompaniment was directed by Reg Guest. "Another Tear Falls" was a modest hit spending eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at #12 in October. The single was another relative disappointment for the group and confirmed a decline in their commercial fortunes. Despite the single's under-performance, Portrait, the group's second album, was released around the same time and was much more popular, making #3 on the UK Albums Chart. The B-side "Saddest Night in the World" is notable as though it is sung by Scott Walker, is one of John Walker's first compositions. John Walker went on to contribute two songs to the group's following album, both of which he handled lead vocals.

Now and then
I see you passing by
And for a while
I don't begin to cry

But just when I think I'm all cried out

Another tear falls
Another tear falls
And then I know
You are still here in my heart
You are still here in my broken heart

Every time I go with someone new
I tell myself I've gotten over you

But just when I think I'm all cried out

Another tear falls
Another tear falls
And then I know
You are still here in my heart

You are still
Here in my
Broken
Heart
