If Teardrops Were Raindrops (Larry W. Jones 05/17/2007) (song#4653)

If teardrops were raindrops
That made flowers grow
I'd have a big rose garden
With row after row

It would be so very lovely
With beauty, I know
If teardrops were raindrops
That made flowers grow

A garden full of roses
And other flowers too
Every color of the rainbow
I could offer to you

Your house would be a mansion
That rich folks love to show
If teardrops were raindrops
That made flowers grow

But teardrops that I've tasted
Won't grow a single thing
And the hours that I've wasted
Show that love can sting

Love that once was growing
Would never stop its flow
If teardrops were raindrops
That made flowers grow

If teardrops were raindrops
That made flowers grow
I'd have a big rose garden
With row after row

But teardrops aren't raindrops
And love's rose garden can't grow
