San Francisco Teardrops Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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
