Lyrics

When You Cry
Lyrics/Music by Carole Nelson

Once you were so strong
Like a rock
Unbreakable, unbendable,
Dependable.
Then one day you looked inside
And found the child who never cried
The child looked at me, silently,
And I said

I widen out the sky for you
And I dreamt that I could die for you
And I hold you like you want me to
When you cry, when you cry.

These words are hard to find,
Each one feels so clumsy, predictable,
Still I say them all.
Words of comfort, words of Love,
To tell you what I'm thinking of
When you look at me,
Silently,
And I said

Chorus

Let these tears of sorrow turn to joy
Let these fears melt away
All I ask of you is that you let my love come through
It?s always here for you
And here it?s going to stay

Once you were so brave,
You'd face anything in the big, bad world,
You'd beat them all,
You had the last call.
Then one day you looked inside
And found the child who never cried,
The child looked at me,
Silently,
And I said

Chorus
