  They never leave her while she sings, she makes them feel things
 she says "I  can sing  this song  so blue
 that you  will cry in spite  of you
little  wet tears on  your baby's  shoulder
little  wet tears on your baby's shoulder
and  I have walked  these streets  so long
 there ain't nothin'  right, there ain't nothin'  wrong
 but the little  wet tears on  my baby's  shoulder
little  wet tears on my baby's shoulder"
lady  lights a cigarette, puffs  away, no  regrets
takes  a look around, no regrets  no regrets
stretches  out like branches  of a poplar  tree
 says "I  am free", sings  so soft as if she'll break
 says "I  can sing this song  so blue
 that you  will cry in spite  of you
little  wet tears on  your baby's shoulder
little  wet tears on your baby's shoulder
and  I have walked  these streets  so long
 there ain't nothin'  right, nothin'  wrong
 but the little  wet tears on  my baby's  shoulder
little  wet tears on my baby's shoulder
but  on this stage I've learned  to fly
learned  to sing and learned  to cry
little  wet tears on my baby's shoulder
little  wet tears on my baby's  shoulder
but  now it's time to say  goodbye
some  might laugh, but  I will surely cry
little  wet tears on my baby's shoulder
little  wet tears on my baby's  shoulder"
lady  lights a cigarette
puffs  away
 and winter  comes
 and she
forgets

she says "[Cm]I can s[G]ing this [Cm]song so bl[Fm]ue
that y[Cm]ou will cry in s[Fm]pite of y[G]ou
[Cm]little wet tears [G]on your baby's[Fm] shoulder
[Cm]little wet tears on your baby's shou[G]lder

[Cm]and I have w[G]alked these s[Cm]treets so l[Fm]ong
there ain't [Cm]nothin' right, there ain't nothin[Fm]' wron[G]g
but the l[Cm]ittle wet tears [G]on my baby's[Fm] shoulder
[Cm]little wet tears on my baby's [Fm]shoulder[G]"

[Cm]little wet tears on my baby's sh[G]oulder

[C]but on this stage I've l[C7]earned to fly
[F]learned to sing and l[D]earned to cry
[Dm]little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
[F]little wet tears on my b[G]aby's shoulder

[C]but now it's time to [C7]say goodbye
[F]some might laugh, bu[D]t I will surely cry
[Dm]little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
[F]little wet tears on my b[G]aby's shoulder"

[Cm]lady lights a [G]cigarette
[Fm]puffs away
and w[G]inter comes [Fm]
and [G]she
[Cm]forgets
