Don't Cry Long - Charles Esten

When I was just a little boy

My family got some news

And I felt like it would tear my world apart

Grandma found me in my room

Crying, and confused

She held me closer, and pulled me to her heart

She said «It's gonna be okay

Just remember what I say

You can cry, but don’t cry long

Honey, I need you to be strong

He don’t give us more than we can carry

So we must carry on

You can cry, but don’t cry long

I see that tears you’re fighting

I know the pain you feel

Sometimes life is hard to understand

But if you look inside yourself

Your strength will be revealed

And while you do, I’m here to hold your hand

Yes, it’s gonna be okay

Just remember what I say

You can cry, but don’t cry long

Honey, I need you to be strong

He don’t give us more than we can carry

So we must carry on

You can cry, but don’t cry long

You can cry, but don’t cry long

Honey, I need you to be strong

He won’t give us more than we can carry

So we must carry on

You can cry, but don’t cry long"
