What does "Just one single tear in each passing year" mean?

@Scott216 Most of these comments are from years ago, but yours is relatively recent. So maybe you’ll actually see this.

I just recently rediscovered this tune after nearly thirty years and had forgotten how lovely it is.

I always interpreted that line as a nod to the fact that there will always be rough moments, even in a devoted and caring relationship. It says, “but only rarely, just a single tear,” in each year. A passing cloud on an otherwise unblemished day.

@Scott216 I think it refers to his yearning or past yearning of one person who can share the tender moments on a consistent, yearly basis and not a fly by night thing
