When You Feel the Need To Cry

When you feel the need
To shed a tiny tear
It’s OK my friend
To cry when they appear
In the very end
There’s nothing you should fear
So go ahead and shed a tiny tear

Some are tears of joy
Some are tears of grief
Some that we enjoy
Bring us sweet relief
When you share your feelings
We all understand
Everybody has a teary gland

Little boys and girls cry
Men and women too
Tender hearts don’t question why
They just simply do
When you have to wave goodbye
And your heart is true
Go ahead and shed a tear or two.
