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-
