"Cry On My Shoulder"

Written by Scott Cooley


Cry on my shoulder, all we’ve got is time

There are so many roles you can play in your life

You’ll be who you want to be, like it or not

Cry on my shoulder, think of all that you’ve got


Cry on my shoulder, tomorrow you’ll see

That being together is all that you need

There’s only me here now, just let yourself go

Cry on my shoulder, no one else needs to know


When things don’t go your way, it’s okay

I’ll show you how to forget

The past doesn’t matter today, so just stay

You’ll learn to get over regret

Our love is what matters now that you’re home

I’ll make you laugh, we’ll take it slow


Cry on my shoulder, think of beautiful things

And when we kiss, feel all the love that it brings 

I’ll help you stop worrying, so you can move on

Cry on my shoulder ‘til the bad thoughts are gone


When things don’t go your way, it’s okay

I’ll show you how to forget

The past doesn’t matter today, so just stay

You’ll learn to get over regret

Our love is what matters now that you’re home

I’ll make you laugh, we’ll take it slow


Cry on my shoulder, think of beautiful things

And when we kiss, feel all the love that it brings 

I’ll help you stop worrying, so you can move on

Cry on my shoulder ‘til the bad thoughts are gone
