When She Cries

(Shel Silverstein)

No one knows my lady when she's lonely

No one sees the fantasies and fears my lady hides

There are those who've shared her love and laughter

But no one hears my lady when she cries"¦but me

No one hears my lady when she cries

And when she cries she makes you wanna run

And chase the sun and bring it back

To brighten up a corner of her dark and troubled skies

When she cries

You may have seen her lyin' in your lamplight

And if you've heard her whispered words, it comes as no surprise

So be the one she shares her secret smiles with

But send me back my lady when she cries"¦for me

My lady's gonna need me when she cries

And when she cries she makes you wanna run

And chase the sun and bring it back

So bring me back my lady when she cries...for me

'Cause my lady's gonna need me when she cries
