Tears

[Chorus]
Now whoever said the hand is quicker than the eye
Has never tried to brush away a tear
Quicker than a wink, there’ll be something in your eye
And you can’t beat a tear if you try

[Verse 1]
Well, tears of joy have graced us all
And tears of sorrow sometimes fall
And some tears betray you just before you know
And some tears don’t ever show

[Chorus]
Whoever said the hand is quicker than the eye
Has never tried to brush away a tear
Quicker than a wink, there’ll be something in your eye
And you can’t beat a tear if you try

[Verse 2]
Now some tears are harder than stone
And some tears are better left alone
Well I’ve seen 'em kept in bottles and I’ve seen ‘em left to dry
And you can’t beat a tear if you try

[Chorus]
But whoever said the hand is quicker than the eye
Has never tried to brush away a tear
Oh, quicker than a wink, there’ll be something in your eye
And you can’t beat a tear if you try
Oh no, you can't beat a tear if you try
