Is That A Tear

(album: Time Marches On - 1996)

Last thing I expected was to get her call tonight
'Cause the last thing that I heard from her, was she found "Mr. Right"
But when I came home this evening, there it was on my machine
And I'm just wondering what the hell it means

Said she's sorry, that she missed me
And she's been doing fine
I've run it back and heard her say
Those words a hundred times
Something makes me wonder
Is she happy with her choice
Or is that a tear I hear
In her voice

First time that I listened
I thought boy shes got some nerve
But the second time I heard it
I heard more then just her words
Am I just wishful thinking
Or did her voice really crack
I'll never know
If I don't call her back

Said she's sorry, that she missed me
And she's been doing fine
I've run it back and heard her say
Those words a hundred times
Something makes me wonder
Is she happy with her choice
Or is that a tear I hear
In her voice

Oh, is that a tear
Lord, is that a tear I hear
In her voice
