|
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 by 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 any 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 for a moment of pain
|
And 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
|
Old man sittin' not ten feet away just lost his wife said to me
|
You've got brand new angel and I lost mine
|
I guess the Good Lord giveth and the Good Lord taketh away
|
And we both wiped a tear drop 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 floatin' down the river
|
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
