When A Woman Cries

Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean

When a woman cries

When a woman cries

She can wash your world away

When storms fill her eyes

When storms fill her eyes

You never know what to say



Don't say a word

Don't say anything

She don't need your truth or lies

Just hold her close and love her

When a woman cries



When a woman cries

When a woman cries

There ain't no sadder song

So you apologize

You apologize

No matter who is right or wrong



But if you want to make her happy

And dry those tears from her eyes

Just hold her close and love her

When a woman cries



Now don't you waste your time thinking

About the right things to say

Just put your arms around her

Until those clouds roll away



And if you find that you're crying too

Don't let it come as no surprise

Just hold her close and love her

When your woman cries
