D Two teardrops were floatin' down the river D One teardrop said to the other Em A D I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love D I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry D She was so happy she just got married Em G D I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove Em F#m G I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me Em F#m G A So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea D The other tear said we've got a connection D I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection Em A D I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame D She told him they would be lifelong companions D Left him with questions and not any answers Em G D I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name Em G G I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company Em F#m G A So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea Bridge 1 Bm F#m Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight G D Two more teardrops somebody cried Bm F#m G - A One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue Bm F#m The tide goes out and the tide comes in G D And someday they'll be teardrops again Bm F#m G Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain Em F#m G A D Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again D Last night I sat in the waiting room D The nurse walked in and gave me the news Em A D It's a baby girl and they're both fine D An old man sittin' not 10 feet away D Just lost his wife and he said to me Em G D You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine Em F#m G I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away Em F#m G A And we both wiped a teardrop from our face Bridge 2 Bm F#m Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight G D Two more teardrops somebody cried Bm F#m G A One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue Bm F#m The tide goes out and the tide comes in G D A whole new circle of life begins Bm F#m G Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain Em F#m G A D 'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again D Two teardrops floatin' down the river D Two teardrops floatin' down the river
