If Tears Could Grow Flowers If tears could grow flowers I’d grow fields for you When I think of how far away you are I become very blue I’ve cried more for you Then you’ll ever know I just wish where they fell Flowers would grow With a silent shudder A tear lands on the ground I’d be happier if in its place A flower would be found I’ve cried fields of dandelions Which could have been wine If I had you by my side I’d be just fine If a tear was a flower I’d have an Aster so blue A flower for your hair Picked just for you There are no flowers needed On days when we are in the same spot I don’t need flowers Because crying I’m not But most weeks I cry fields To heal my wounded heart Those are the weeks When you must be apart So as images of you Leak out of my eye and roll down my face I’d be so much happier If a flower would grow in Its place When you find your true love And it is impossible for us to be near There’s nothing to do But shed a tear When the thirsty ground guzzles the sadness And nothing grows in its place Sometimes it’s the harsh reality We must face Alas, my love I know you’re not going any where I know exactly where you’ll stay So my tears continue to fall And I’ll have to pretend they’ll grow those flowered fields of May As much as I hate it And it makes me want to die I can’t help but To continue to cry No matter Even though we will be miles apart I have you right next to me Right here in the flowered field of my heart
