Lyrics 'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose - John Prine, Fiona Prine

'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose

Darling, I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart, I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep, I’ll be right here to hold you
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
Dearest love, I know your heart’s been shattered
And all my words can offer no relief
But my love will heal the pain you’ve suffered
And I’ll be here, if you should turn to me
Darling, I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart, I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep, I’ll be right here to hold you
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
In deepest night when memories tend to gather
Lay with me and put your fears to sleep
'Cause there’s no pain no dream can put asunder
All the love that binds us, you and me
Darling, I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart, I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep, I’ll be right here to hold you
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
