"La Sagrada Familia"

I listened to Gaudi two days ago and noticed a small feature in "La Sagrada Familia."  In the line "And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears," the "tears" is sung with a melisma (D C# B F#).  That it's sung with a number of notes gives a sense of amount and of "fill[ing]."
