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
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Two teardrops floatin'
down the river
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
