Two Teardrops

Two teardrops

(Two teardrops)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 againTwo teardrops

(Two teardrops)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 againTwo teardrops floatin' down the river

Two teardrops

(Two teardrops)

Two teardrops floatin' down the river

Two teardrops
