Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Whenever You Cry
Walking just the other day
I saw a child with a swollen face
As people passed it bothered me
How they could look the other way
I wiped his crying eyes
Said everything's gonna be alright
With his bloodstained clothes
He said to me don't cry, please don't cry
Whenever you cry
It makes me wanna cry
I can see the hurt you feel inside
Whenever you cry
It makes me wanna cry
So I'll be here for you to dry your eyes
It doesn't matter if you run away
'Cause the truth will still remain
The pain will always follow you
Until you make a change
Time can heal your scars
But only God will heal your heart
When all is lost he'll show you where to go
Because he knows
You may feel like the world has beat you down
But you looked up and you found a friend
So when you feel your world is coming to an end
Don't give up
Don't give in
Just know Angel will be there for you
So don't you cry
Don't you cry(Don't cry)
Dry your eyes
Don't cry, Don't you cry
Just dry your weeping eyes
Na na na na na na
Don't cry
