Lonely Teardrop

Lonely Teardrop

Somebody once said that roses are so red,
And violets are so blue.
What about this lonely teardrop,
That I get when I think of You?

Someone said the moon is for night,
And that Florida sunshine is for day!
But this lonely teardrop says,
"I love you...That's all that I can say."

We get along so great,
We have been together now for over a year.
You are always in my heart,
But this lonely teardrop appears when we are apart!

Our first sacred kiss was sealed with love!
From that moment on I knew
You were sent to me from above.
But when you're not in my arms, I get so blue!

Lonely Teardrop, please go away,
Karen will be with me any day!
Darling, you changed my whole life.
One day, you will be my lovely wife!

You are there in Lakeland,
I am here in cherry blossom land (DC)
The blossoms died the day you left,
And all that remains is one lonely teardrop!

"What's the point?" You asked.
The point is...My love for you has been unmasked.
You have my ring, my love, and my heart...
And all I have is one lonely teardrop!

I must be strong...I must be kind.
I must take courage...I must be gentle.
My fervent heart has a burning desire
To love you as passionate as flame and fire!

Lonely Teardrop, it won't be long.
When Karen returns, you will have to go,
Because the heavens know
That we will live on Love's Plateau.

Lonely Teardrop,
You must go.
Heaven knows
That Karen is my Princess Rose!
