TWO TEAR DROPS
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
One teardrop said to the other
I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
She was so happy she just got married
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
The other tear said we've got a connection
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
She told him they would be lifelong companions
Left him with questions and not any answers
I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
I could tell he had alot of my friends for company
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
Oh the ocean's alittle bit bigger tonight
Two more tearsdrops somebody cried
The tides comes out and the tide goes in
And someday there'll be teardrops again
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Last night I sat in the waiting room
The nurse walked in and gave me the news
It's a baby girl and there both fine
An old man sittin not 10 feet away
Just lost his wife and he said to me
You got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
We both wiped a teardrop from our face
Oh the ocean's alittle bigger tonight
Two more teardrops somebody cried
One of the happy and one of them bluer then blue
The tide goes out and the tide goes in
And a whole new circle of life begins
Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
Til' they drift on down and ride to the sea again
NEXT TO HOME
