The Very Blest of Jack Tannehill

You Won't Cry Long

Don't try and hide it. You're crying that's all
You ain't hurt nobody. You ain't broke no law
Salty tears were the first thing you ever gave to this world
My God I am living so every baby is heard

If somebody told you 'Your crying's wrong', well they lied
Your eyes are the exit for the hurt that's inside
Your heart must make room for joys you will find tomorrow
Hey, only rain can make a rainbow and often sunshine will follow

Sometimes this whole world can be so much for someone
Sometimes we all can't be strong
We shed tears over fears, we lose sleep over sorrow
If crying were a crime the law would sure have us all
You remember my name and well, don't lose my number
...and maybe You Won't Cry Long
Maybe You Won't Cry So Long

From time to time even great oaks bend in storm
The toughest of sails wind can push till their torn
You're never a loser if you've done all you can
And any fallen man he's only down till he stands

Sometimes this whole world can be so much for someone
Sometimes we all can't be strong
You remember my name and well, don't lose my number
...and maybe You Won't Cry Long
Maybe You Won't Cry So Long

Me, I believe in you, your strength and your will
I've heard you cry 'glory', I know you can still
If I'm not there when you conquer, I will hear it through the wind
You will have love, luck & happiness...cause you I believe in

Sometimes this whole world can be so much for someone
Sometimes we all can't be strong
You remember my name and well, don't lose my number
...and maybe You Won't Cry Long
Maybe You Won't Cry So Long
