Lyrics Looking Through a Tear - Aretha Franklin

Looking Through a Tear

When love leaves & breaks your heart
Your dreams simply fall apart
You see a world sad & blue
So unfamiliar to you
You look for lips that you once kissed
But they’re lost in mist
Oh oh oh oh it’s funny
How nothing seems quite so clear
When you’re looking through a tear
The face in the crowd
You see is her face
All seems to fade in the shade of her glory
And you wait for the chance
To catch another glance
But she really wasn’t there
Her words linger in your ear
Goodbye is all that you can hear
It couldn’t happen to you
But all at once love is through
It’s funny
How nothing seems clear
When you’re looking through a tear
