Through Tears I Can See Eternity

I wonder, as we kneel here, can you see eternity too, Dear?

Promises made for all time - and in my mind,

I see eternity through tears of joy.

I see that we’re here just a moment in time.

Life clouds our vision, but now I clearly see –

Through tears I can see eternity.

A baby! A new soul! I look in your eyes and I want to know

Everything! I cradle you near, crying humble tears…

I see eternity through tears of joy.

I see that we’re here just a moment in time.

Life clouds our vision, but now I clearly see –

Through tears I can see eternity.

Then death comes, and sorrow. I’ll see you again, Darling –

Oh, I know the tears are for the ones left behind, and in my mind,

I see eternity through sorrow’s tears.

Together we shared precious moments here.

Tears wash my pillow, but now I clearly see –

Through tears I can see eternity!

Through tears I can see eternity.
