Two Tear Drops
Two teardrops were floating down the river
one teardrop says 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 cheeck when she wiped me away with her glove
I could tell from the look on her face
that she didn't need me
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
The other tear said
"We have a connection. I'm a tear of sorrow, born of rejection. I'm
from the sad brown eyes of her old flame.
She told them they would be life-long companions
left him with questions and not any answers
I was on his cheeck as he stood there calling her name
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
so I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
two more teardrops somebody cried
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
someday they'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
(two teardrops) (two teardrops)
Last night I sat in the waiting room
A nurse walked in and gave me the news
"It's a baby girl and they're both fine."
An old man sitting not ten feet away
Just lost his wife and he said to me
"You've got a brand new angel and i've lost mine.
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taken away."
and we both wiped a teardrop from our face.
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
two more teardrops somebody cried,
one of them happy and one of them bluer than blue.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
A whole new circle of life begins
where tears are part of the pleasure
and part of the pain
till they drift on down and ride to the sea again...
two teardrops floating down the river
(two teardrops)
two teardrops floating down the river
two teardrops floating down the river
