Tears In Heaven

The only tears that fall in heaven
Are drops of gentle April rain
Falling quietly in the mist of the valley
Showering down on the flora of Spring



Where the rose lifts her 

head toward Heaven
And welcomes the kiss of 

each drop on her cheek
And displays each droplet so proudly
Like tears of joy they 

stream down her face

The only tear drops that fall in Heaven
Fall from a fountain in a garden in May
Amid the peace and 

beauty of the blossoms
From the fountain of life they cascade

Heaven knows no tears 

apart from the ones
That dance in the tumult of a waterfall
Like tiny pearls they reveal their luster
As they promenade in the sweet November sun

So remember when you think of me
And the teardrops begin to fall
The only tears which

are known in Heaven
Are tears of the greatest joy

No tears of sorrow shall 

befall me in Heaven
And though no longer in your arms
If you must shed tears and weep
Dry those tears of sorrow
And cry tears of joy for me!
