"No Tears in Heaven" There are no tears in Heaven, so I have tell behind this single, Little Teardrop to lovingly remind, though absent from the body; I'm present with the Lord, the joy of my salvation, Is now my full reward; And just as God has promised, He's wiped my tears away, and nothing can compare to the wonder of that day. So wear this in my memory, and know that up above, there are no tears in Heaven, instead, there's only Love.
