Who sings this?

Abie Rotenberg-Teardrop

In a one room apartment, somewhere in the city

A story of magic unfolds

There lived an old widow without any children

Abandoned, forgotten, alone

And she lived with the memories of barbed wire fences

And darkness invading her dreams

Oh, if ever a woman had a reason to cry

Then surely the woman was she

But never did she shed a tear

She asked for no answers, had nothing to fear

Well it happened one Friday, there just was no money

Her table bare, covered in white

But she found a few pennies and bought a small candle

Her Shabbos would still have its light

And she lit the lone candle, recited the bracha

The deepest of joys in her heart

When a gust of wind blew through a crack in the window

The flame once so bright had gone dark

This time the pain was so great

She tried to hold it back but it was too late

There was a teardrop formed on the edge of her eye

It rolled down her cheek, heading straight for the candle

As if with a mind of its own

Touching the wick, the drop burst out in flames

Once more there was light in her home

No more could she hold back the tears

She cried out the sorrow of so many years

G-d’s love is hidden, in time we’ll know why

But the heavens had told her it’s all right to cry

Abie Rotenberg. Journeys 3 i believe. it’s called teardrop.

I believe it is sung by Abie Rotenberg

Figures. He writes beautiful songs.

I hope you have a mechanical license, otherwise it is copyright enfringement. The good news (but not for you) is that you can get a mechanical license even if the copyright holder doesn’t want to license it, the bad news is that you can’t get a compulsory mechanical license after an infringement.
