Story Behind The Song
A friend of mine lost her mom and never seemed to shed a tear. I wrote this song to give her permission to cry and grieve the loss. She told me she didn't cry because her mom was her best friend & they left nothing unsaid.

Lyrics
It's O.K. If You Cry
It's o.k. if you cry - it helps wash away the pain
It hurts less by-and-by 'til mem'ries bring it back again -
..then - it's o.k. if you cry - summer flowers need the rain
Nature runs its course (my friend) - things will work out in the end
I know you're full of so much pain - it/s only natural
Only time can heal your wounds - so give it all to Him
For he loves you like a child - and His arms are open wide
He's always waiting there - for you - always by your side!
It's o.k. if you cry - it helps wash away the pain
It hurts less by-and-by 'til mem'ries bring it back again -
..then - it's o.k. if you cry - summer flowers need the rain
Nature runs its course (my friend) - all things work out in the end
The pain will never go away - but, it won?t be so intense
Just take it day-by-day, my friend, I know you?ve got the strength
For he loves you like a child - and His arms are open wide
He's always waiting there - for you - always by your side!
It's o.k. if you cry - it helps wash away the pain
It hurts less by-and-by 'til mem'ries bring it back again -
..then - it's o.k. if you cry - summer flowers need the rain
Nature runs its course (my friend) - things will work out in the end
Yes, nature runs its course my friend - all things work out in the end
