Discover the story of the song > ‘Til a Tear Becomes a Rose – Keith Whitley

The song is about a man who sees that his partner (a woman) is sad and tries to comfort her by saying that he will be there for her whenever she cries. She responds by telling him that she knows his heart is broken and that even though she can't make it better with just words, her love will help him heal. They both promise to be there for each other and turn their tears into something beautiful like a rose.
