Joyous Tears
Joyous tears falling down
Joyous moments all around
That gentle look in your eye
The unspoken question why
The salty trail along your cheek
The quaver in your voice as you speak
The loss of words evident
As my question you circumvent
The answer either yes or no
The question brings your life to the brink
And on this question you say you must think
You hand me back the ring with a sigh
Again the unspoken question why
Joyous tears falling down
Past the smile now a frown
For what might have been
For what might not have been
For what will not be
Just another broken hearted memory
Joyous moments all around
That gentle look in your eye
The unspoken question why
The salty trail along your cheek
The quaver in your voice as you speak
The loss of words evident
As my question you circumvent
The answer either yes or no
The question brings your life to the brink
And on this question you say you must think
You hand me back the ring with a sigh
Again the unspoken question why
Joyous tears falling down
Past the smile now a frown
For what might have been
For what might not have been
For what will not be
Just another broken hearted memory
