It's Not Just Water

There's something special in a tear
That water does not contain
It can't be found in any ocean
Or even a drop of rain
No fountain and no river
No spring and no sea
Can do the same thing
That a tear drop does to me
Every time I think of her
And what we could've been
Somehow my eyes water
And the tear drops begins
A little peace of her
Is erased whenever I cry
There goes her curly hair
And there goes a blue eye
It can't be just water
That washes her away
If tears can get rid of her
Then I'll shed them everyday
