Lonely little San Francisco teardrops   Mixed with lonely San Francisco raindrops   Frantically I try to find the way to say   What I feel in my heart   As I drive as slowly as I can up   To the ramp that says depart   Pride has closed my lips and I suppose   That I have grown too big to cry   Well, what could be as lonely as a   San Francisco airport kiss goodbye      I wish your plane was late for just an hour   Maybe then my heart could find the power   To say all the things I should have said   Before I let it go this far   I'd go get your bags and take your hand   And walk you back out to the car   It's too late we've reached the gate   That you walk through and disappear from sight   I bet there'll be a lot of lonely   San Francisco teardrops fall tonight      As you raise your head to say goodbye   What's that in the corner of your eye   For do I see a tear begin to form   And slowly trickle down your cheek   I guess you see one too because I'm cryin'   I'm so happy I can't speak   People understand our happiness because   They smile as they walk by   But they don't know the beauty of   A San Francisco teardrop in your eye   No they don't know the beauty of   A San Francisco teardrop in your eye
