Two teardrops were   Floating 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 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 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   Life long 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'      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      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 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 Lork taketh away   And we both wiped a teardrop   From our face      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 floating down the river   Two teardrops floating down the river
