lyrics

Cry my baby
Cry my child

Did you trip and fall? Did you skin your knee?
Running at the park? Climbing up a tree?
Did you knock your head? Did you hurt your arm?
Going down the slide? Playing far too hard?

Weep my baby,
Weep my child

Did they leave you out? Did they mock your looks?
Or your dirty shoes? Or your love of books?
Do you feel a fool? Like you’re all alone?
Like the world’s unfair? Wanna stay at home?


I know it’s hard to believe, but Mom and Dad know just how you feel
You see kid, we were once kids just like you
Sometimes there’s nothin’ to do, but just cry and let it run through ya
We’ll be here to help you on your way

Sigh my baby
Sigh my child

Did he say goodbye? Did she want to part?
Do you feel ashamed? Want to close your heart?
Now the days feel long, the nights longer still
It’s ok cry, and ok to feel


We know it hurts real bad, we’ve been there, it’s true! We’ve been sad.
Yeah you see kid, we were once kids just like you
Now try to settle your mind, these things they just take time
And we’ll be here to help you make it through

Sleep my baby
Sleep my child

Close your eyes my love, let me stroke your hair
While you fall asleep, life can be unfair
Did he say goodbye? Did she break your heart?
Oh this too shall pass. Make a brand new start
Let me hold your hand, let me hold you tight
I know things are tough, but they’ll be alright
Do you feel alone? Like you’ve been a fool?
Oh my darling child, you’re a shining jewel
