(bill anderson/steve wariner) | |
(track 2 - time 4:29) | |
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 |
