Two Teardrops Lyrics - Steve Wariner

Two teardrops 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 a tear of joy she couldn'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 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 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 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 

And 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 sittin' not 10 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 Lord taketh away 

And we both wiped a teardrop from our face 

Oh 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 floatin' down the river 

Two teardrops floatin' down the river
