Lyrics:
First verse
Since the day when Mother Eve, Dropp'd a tear on Adam's sleeve, Man has kept on guessing why, Women sigh, Women cry: They will weep when they are sad, Weep some more when they are glad, Yet you always are in doubt, What it's all about:
Chorus
Tears may mean a heart is broken Tears may drive the blues away Tears may fall when you remember One you loved in a bygone day And there are tears that cry for kisses Like the rose for the rain above But the tears I prize in someone's pretty eyes Are the beautiful tears of love. Tears may mean a heart is broken Tears may drive the blues away Tears may fall when you remember One you loved in a bygone day And there are tears that cry for kisses Like the rose for the rain above But the tears I prize in someone's pretty eyes Are the beautiful tears of love.
Second verse
Tears are such a fickle lot, Some are truthful, some are not; Tho’ they fall for sympathy, It may be jealousy: When to all your hopes and fears Woman answers with her tears, Even then you have to guess, If it’s “no” or “yes:”
(Chorus)
