I Wish You Could Cry

A new song from me.

I Wish You Could Cry

What if I could promise you
A net that you could not fall through
That always holds?

Or what if all I offered you
Were arms that let you fall into
A tender fold?

I wish you could cry
I wish you could cry
I can read your face's tell
I know it all too well

I see the signs
So many signs
I wish you'd let me hold you
And I wish you could cry.

You say your deepest fear
Is the deep river of your tears
Will somehow never end

But trusting in that flow
Is how we finally let it go
And how our hearts can mend.

I wish you could cry
I wish you could cry
I can read your face's tell
I know it all too well

I see the signs
So many signs
I wish you'd let me hold you
And I wish you could cry.
