Two Tear Drops

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'd just gotten married.
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her
glove.
I could tell on 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 life long companions,
Left him with questions and not enough answers.
I was on his cheek as he stood there callin' 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,
And someday there'll be teardrops again,
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of
pain.
Then they'll 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 they're both fine.
An old man sittin' 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 givedth and the good lord
taketh 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 a part of the pleasure, and part
of the pain.
Till they drift on down and ride to the sea again.
