Lovely ----
Thanks Lengo, I've saved it in my music folder,
At first I thought I was going to hear Del Shannon's "Two kinds of Teardrops", which I also like, and it's about the same sort of thing.

Very pretty melody, unfortunately I couldn't understand most of the lyrics. My hearing aids help, but they aren't miraculous    I have to have captioning on movies to understand, and sometimes they caption the songs also.     But thanks anyway, Lengo.

[Lengo]

Yer welcome, Sandra. Is a beautiful song, no?

unfortunately I couldn't understand most of the lyrics. My hearing aids help, but they aren't miraculous 

DOH! I forgot. Okay, I'll try to transcribe the lyrics for you. Gimme some time for that, though.

[Lengo]

Here ya go, Taz

Two teardrops were floating down a 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 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 be life-long 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 cryin,
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in,
Someday there'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 sitting not ten feet away
just lost his wife and 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."
We both wiped a teardrop from our face.

Oh, the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight.
Two more teardrops, somebody cryin,
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 part of the pleasure and part of the pain,
Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again.

I think it's comforting. For every tear of pain there's a tear of joy, and if the tide is going out, it will come back in.

Thank you...
"The oceans a bit bigger tonight"...this part of the song actually bought a tear to my eye 


Lovely song Lengo....

[Lengo]

Well, life is an ocean of tears, both happy and sad. I think this song captures the human condition. Barring language barriers, people all around the world can relate to this song. Is quite lovely!
