TWO TEARDROPS Steve Wariner



Two teardrops were floating down the river, One teardrop said to the other, "I'm from the soft blue eyes of a women in love." "I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry." "She was so happy she just got married." "I was on her cheeck when she wiped me away with her glove." "I could tell from the look on her face" "That she didn't need me." "So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea."

The other teardrop said, "We have a connection. I'm a tear of sorrow, born of rejection." "I"m from the sad brown eyes of her old flame." "She told them they would be life-long companions," "Left him with questions and not any answers." "I was on his cheeck when 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 on 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, 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. Two teardrops.....Two teardrops.

Last night I sat in the waiting room, A nurse walked in and gave me the news, "It's a baby girl and they're both fine." An old man sitting not ten 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 part of the pleasure, And part of the pain, Till they drift on down and ride to the sea again...

Two teardrops floating down the river... Two teardrops floating down the river... Two teardrops floating down the river...
