Why Won'T the Tears Come
Why won't the tears come
Why won't they fall
Did our life together
Mean nothing at all
Our love was in bloom
Wedding in June
A picture-perfect affair
Magic in the air
Envisioning a new life
in the Promised Land
Realizing shared dreams
Milk and honey, sprinkled with sand
Changed countries so hopeful
Lost our shirts and came back
Fought so hard to regain
All that we lacked
Two children we raised
Whom we lavished with praise
Their every good deed
These blessed of our seed...
Why won't the tears come
Why won't they fall
Did our life together
Mean nothing at all
Somewhere, somehow
The magic abated
No tears ever flow
Once you know it's ill-fated
