One Tear Lyrics

Nine children, seven of her own

Two she chose to love, to share her heart and home

Forty-two grandkids, seventy-five grades

Lord, what a life she led, Lord, what she gave

One tear, the final chapter of her life

Many years, a friend, a mom, a wife

Letting go, saying goodbye

It isn't easy, no one can deny

So she lay in her hospital bed

Surrounded by loved ones, remembering things she'd said

Reminiscing about good times

Laughter fills the room, sprinkled with cries

One tear, the final chapter of her life

Many years, a friend, a mom, a wife

Letting go, saying goodbye

It isn't easy, no one can deny

Oh, she hated to leave them all

But something was whispered in her ear

It's time to go now, as she left this earth

She said goodbye with just one tear

Many tears were shed that day

Many tears as they took her away

And our loss is heaven's gain

And the tears keep on falling like a gentle rain

One tear, the final chapter of her life

Many years, a friend, a mom, a wife

Letting go, saying goodbye

It isn't easy, no one can deny

One tear.
