Two teardrops were floatinand' down the river
one teardrop said to the other
iand'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
iand'm a tear of joy she couldnand'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 didnand't need me
so i drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
The other tear said weand've got a connection
iand'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
iand'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 oceanand'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 theyand'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
itand's a baby girl and theyand're both fine
an old man sittinand' not 10 feet away
just lost his wife and he said to me
youand've got a brand new angel and iand'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 oceanand'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
and'til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Two teardrops floatinand' down the river
two teardrops floatinand' down the river
