Lyrics
The Stuff That Tears Are Made Of
Copyright 2023 Virgil Brown Music
Flowers in the rain
Runnin for the train
Holding hands and believing in love
The first rays of another dawn
A candle for one who’s gone
Blowing on the embers of yesterday
That’s the stuff the tears are made of. (3X)
The glow in Mother’s eyes.
Father’s love he can’t disguise
The roads we rode for miles and miles and miles.
Every dog I’ve ever known
All the love they’ve ever shown
Making circles to lay down every night
That’s the stuff the tears are made of. (3X)
Grandmas silken hair
Babies skin so fair
their voices are still echoing somewhere
No Shelter for the poor
Broken soldier home from war
The forgiveness of a friend when you’ve been wrong
That’s the stuff the tears are made of (3X)
The roaring of the sea
The family we used to be
With sand beneath our feet
And the warm sun
The years have disappeared
We’ve learned from what we’ve feared
Holding hands and believing in love
That’s the stuff the tears are made of
