A teardrop fell today,
I knew the reason why.
I remember all the joy you gave …
And wonder why you had to die.
A teardrop fell today.
It wasn’t very long …
It started forming right away
When I heard your favorite song.
A teardrop fell today,
It caught me by surprise.
A smile lingered on my lips
But my heart resounded cries.
A teardrop fell today.
It’s been more than six long years …
Perhaps I’m making up for time
When I couldn’t shed those tears.
A teardrop fell today,
With thoughts of you, my son.
And all the love you gave to me …
But is that really gone?
For my precious boy, Chris
