Two Teardrops

Two teardrops were
Floating 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 gotten 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
Life long 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'
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
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 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 Lork taketh away
And we both wiped a teardrop
From our face
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 floating down the river
Two teardrops floating down the river
