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
