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
