It's All Right To Cry
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
Crying gets the sad out of you
It's all right to cry
It might make you feel better
Raindrops from your eyes
Washing all the mad out of you
Raindrops from your eyes
It's gonna make you feel better
It's all right to feel things
Though the feelings may feel strange
Feelings are such real things
And they change and change and change
Sad and grumpy
Down-in-the dumpy
Snuggly, huggly
Mean and ugly
Sloppy, splappy
Hoppy, happy!
Change and change and change
It's all right to feel things
Though the feelings may feel strange
Feelings are such real things
And they change and change and change
It's all right to know
Feelings come and feelings go
It's all right to cry
It might make you feel better
Spoken: It's all right to cry, little boy
I know some big boys that cry too
It's All Right To Cry
