Lonely little San Francisco teardrops

Mixed with lonely San Francisco raindrops

Frantically I try to find the way to say

What I feel in my heart

As I drive as slowly as I can up

To the ramp that says depart

Pride has closed my lips and I suppose

That I have grown too big to cry

Well, what could be as lonely as a

San Francisco airport kiss goodbye



I wish your plane was late for just an hour

Maybe then my heart could find the power

To say all the things I should have said

Before I let it go this far

I'd go get your bags and take your hand

And walk you back out to the car

It's too late we've reached the gate

That you walk through and disappear from sight

I bet there'll be a lot of lonely

San Francisco teardrops fall tonight



As you raise your head to say goodbye

What's that in the corner of your eye

For do I see a tear begin to form

And slowly trickle down your cheek

I guess you see one too because I'm cryin'

I'm so happy I can't speak

People understand our happiness because

They smile as they walk by

But they don't know the beauty of

A San Francisco teardrop in your eye

No they don't know the beauty of

A San Francisco teardrop in your eye
