Two tear drops 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 the tear of joy she couldn't carry
she was so happy she'd just gotten 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 cought me a ride to the sea

The other tear said we got a connection
I'm the tear of sorrow born of rejection
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
she told him they would be life long companions
left him with questionsand not any answers
I was on his cheek as he stood there callin her name
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
so I driftedn on down and cought me a ride to the sea

oh the oceans 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

last night I sat in the waiting room
the nurse walks in and gave me the news
it's a baby gurl and their both fine
old man sittin not ten feet away
just lost his wife and he said to me
you've got a brand new angel and I lost mine
I guess the good lord giveth and the good lord taketh away
and we both wiped a teardrop from out face

oh the oceans 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
'till they drift on down and ride to the sea again

two tear drops floatin down the river

two tear drops floatin down the river
