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 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 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
|
|
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 10 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 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
|
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
|
|
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
|
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
|
