Don't Cry

[chaoscricket]

My uncle, an amazing guitarist, has taken to sending me demos of stuff he's been working on. He's asked me to work up some lyrics for the songs. This is the first effort. Not my best ever, but it feels good to be writing again.

When you wake up at 4 in the mornin'
Your pillow soaked through with sweat and tears
Call on me, and I'll come runnin'
To chase away all those blues and tears

Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, I'll kiss those tears away
Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, everything is okay

You know there's nothing that we can't conquer
No situation that we can't outlast
Dry your eyes here on my shoulder
Remember that this, too, shall pass

Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, I'll kiss those tears away
Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, everything is okay

Sometimes we feel so lost and hurt
Overwhelmed by all our fears
Sometimes we feel so broken inside
But that's no reason for tears

Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, I'll kiss those tears away
Don't cry, dry those tears
Don't cry, everything is okay.
