Too Many Tears
This song played this morning on my Spotify station. I could not get the tune out of my head and decided to look it up on youtube. What I found was a beautiful slide show of pictures from our recent history – at least over the last 50 years or so. I hope you enjoy the poignant message in this song as much as I did.
God Bless
“Too Many Tears”
Did you see the first man on the moon?
Have you seen the first light of day?
When there wasn’t someone stuck inside
Something like the moon
Something like a star that’s lost its way
Did you go to Dallas on that day?
Have you been to where they broke a dream?
Where there really isn’t room for doubt
Somehow we got lost
And the truth is buried somewhere in-between
And everyone, everywhere
Take time and dry your eyes
‘Cause too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
Just look into that beautiful blue
That beautiful blue, blue sky
And know too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
The mystery of why they had to leave
I’m only one of thousands saying why
Why a balcony in Memphis Tennessee
Seems trapped in time
Just an angry finger pointing at the sky
Would you wait to stand inside his shoes?
And is the best all you have to give
The barefoot man lived a simple life
I guess he knew
Something’s die so other things might live
So everyone, everywhere
Take time and dry your eyes
‘Cause too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
Just look into that beautiful blue
That beautiful blue, blue sky
And know too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
Oh come on everyone, everywhere
Take time and dry your eyes
‘Cause too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
Just look into that beautiful blue
That beautiful blue, blue sky
And know too many tears, too many tears
Have been cried
