Why Tears Are Salty -

The loss of a sweetheart's attention
The loss of a special sweet friend
The hurts from a lover's deception
Our tears help us to mend

The salt of oceans great waters
is healing, and so they say
to wounds and cuts that might bruise us
to the flesh of our decay

The salt of our tears remind us
how soothing it is to our soul
tears shed in painful emotion
it's healing, I gladly extol  

The salt of oceans great waters
like the salt that flows in our tears
heals the pains and sadness of heartbreak
thru our many sorrowful years
