If Tears Had Color In Them

If tears had color in them, I'd stay such a mess

'Cause I'd always have splotches of color all over my dress

If blues and reds and yellows appeared each time I cried

Then how could I keep secret what I feel inside

Oh, I'm lucky, yes

That tears are clear

And just disappear, yes, disappear

Whenever they dry

If tears had color in them, I'd be so ashamed

'Cause I'd look like a circus clown, each time I write your name

If tears had color in them, and left a stain behind

Then I'd wear multi-colorod make-up all of the time

I'm so glad, oh, yes

That tears are clear

And just disappear, yes, disappear

Whenever they dry
