John Prine - 'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose lyrics

written by Bill and Mary Sharon Rice

Darling, I can see the clouds around you

And in your heart I know a sorrow grows

But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you

'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose

Dearest love, I know your heart been shattered

And all my words can offer no relief

But my love will heal the pain you've suffered

And I'll be here if you should turn to me

I deepest night when memories tend to gather

Lay with me and put your fears to sleep

'Cause there's no pain no dream can put asunder

All the love that binds us you and me

Darling, I can see the clouds around you

And in your heart I know a sorrow grows

But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you

'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose

'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
