I Know How To Cry

No doubt we all do. Thought it might be interesting to admit it in a song.

Intro tag


Hey I want you to know

I know how to cry

I know how to let em flow

When I get down that low


When I lose love

When a friend dies

When I’m sick of trying

It’s just a matter of timing


I see something beautiful

I got to let em go

Something bites me

Got to let the tearrrrrrrs flow


Sometimes I need a good cry

And when I’m done and dry

I can’t help but shine

I’m ready for a good time


Hey myyyyy   mind   

Wants to fight against time

But I never win

Crying time again


Crying out loud

I got to let em go

I get that low down

Got to let those tearrrrrrrs flow

   

I get dowwwn low

I need a good cry 

It’s something beautiful

To free my mind


tag  


There was a time 

I held em inside

Cuz a man ain’t supposed to cry

He’ll take another twist of the knife


But when I’m done and dry

Got my hands in the air

There’s no more hurt inside

No more worry to care


I see something beautiful

I have to let em go

Something bites me

Got to let the tearrrrrrrs flow


Said down low

Well I need a good cry 

I see something beautiful

To free my mind


Said tears of joy

The time has arrived

To laugh till you cry

Cuz we’re gonna have a good time


tag


Now if you don’t know how to cry

And the world kicks you down

Down on your knees

Beggin for the mercy please


Well something needs to

Let it all  break free

I said something beautiful

You gotta let the rain fall

Aww let the rain fall

Oooo let it fall

  • I see something beautiful

    I have to let 'em go

    Great subject for a song, and you nailed a lot of aspects of the subject - nice one!

  • It's good how you take a one line statement and expand on that with so many variations and scenarios.

    I call these type of songs, "shopping list songs, SLS" for obvious reasons, and they are so difficult to pull off.

    You, however, managed to introduce so much variety within the song both vocally and musically to keep me hooked throughout, nice going.

    Enjoyed it very much.

    well done again.

    As always thanks Sid. Lil problem, the bank account is empty, I'm out of cash, will a payment in Bitcoin be OK? 😉

  • Which bit of the coin are we talking about?

  • It's a subject that everybody can understand, beautiful portrait from different angles that delve into the subject. Nice story

  • I love this. Crying is something that some guys try to shy away from. Something to do with the way we're conditioned I reckon.

    Your vocal here is superb. You're daring with some of those high notes! My fave of yours so far I reckon.

    Brilliant.😀

  • Beautiful song. Takes a brave man to admit to crying. I love all the reasons you gave. I smashed the 'like' button, YT. More please.

    Have a lovely writing day,

    Renee

  • 😉😂 Hey thanks all for listening and your comments...they're so kind, it makes me want to cry.

    Sounds like Elvis. I think you need a standup bass, a little 50's electric guitar and some backing vocals. This is the far best one I have heard from you. Don't stop.

    By the way I spent Thanksgiving years ago in Cape Cod. What a perfect place for that holiday. Also, at least one summer holiday there as a kid. Very nice place.
