Tears

Through all the tears we've cried in pain
Through all the sorrow and the shame
Our troubles all have been in vain
Because I still love you

Still, we know we can't dismiss
The sorrow with a happy bliss
Until the teardrops dry ammidst
The rainbows in our hearts

We must make up forgivingly
I to you, and you to me
And keep on living lovingly
Without a passing fear

Now we both must clear our eyes
And let the sorrows go awry
Allowing all our tears to dry
With no pain held within

I love you now, and always will
Until the day that time stands still
And you always, sometimes against my will,
Seem to make me smile

But, for now, I have to go
So I just thought I'd let you know
That I will always love you so
My love for you won't die
