Lyrics

This Tear
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2010

This tear, this tear I shed for you
My friend, the one who's always true
I've nothing left to lose, all that I can do
This tear I shed for you


I left, to sail out on my own
For too long I meant to make it home
Though your gracious smile was never far away
Your love keeps me so warm, protects me in my storms


I thought I'd touch you once again
'Til your life came to a shattered end
But the love you shared will never leave my side
Ever since you were taken away that painful cold, dark day
Just hanging on without you

My love for you can never die
Your gracious smile will survive


This tear, this tear I shed for you
Not much, but all that I could do
You're always in my heart
We'll never be far apart
This smile's just for you
