One Single Tear
Nearly fifty years together, he was always at her side.
Mom feels so alone since the day dad died.
Alone in their empty home every night and day
She just sits in her rocker, passin' the time away.
One single tear falls now they're apart.
As she clutches his picture close to her heart.
They vowed to love till their life's were through.
Now one single tear falls, her loves' ever true.
She's lived a good life, now in her twilight years.
Remembers in her heart, the laughter, the tears.
She recalls his warm eyes as she kissed him good-bye.
He said, I'll be waiting for you, to be back at my side.
She can still feel his warm touch, see the love in his eyes
Hear him say I love you as she tries not to cry.
But, one single tear falls as she relives her past.
Wanting to go home to her love at last.
Mom feels so alone since the day dad died.
Alone in their empty home every night and day
She just sits in her rocker, passin' the time away.
One single tear falls now they're apart.
As she clutches his picture close to her heart.
They vowed to love till their life's were through.
Now one single tear falls, her loves' ever true.
She's lived a good life, now in her twilight years.
Remembers in her heart, the laughter, the tears.
She recalls his warm eyes as she kissed him good-bye.
He said, I'll be waiting for you, to be back at my side.
She can still feel his warm touch, see the love in his eyes
Hear him say I love you as she tries not to cry.
But, one single tear falls as she relives her past.
Wanting to go home to her love at last.
