David Cox - Beautiful To Cry Lyrics

I was sitting in my chair the other night
Thinking about the stories of my life
All the good times and all the bad
When all of a sudden in my right eye
A tear appeared and I asked God why
He said, it's all right. That's all right

He said, son, it's beautiful to cry. it cleanses your heart and mine. that's why
So go on, wipe those tears away but let those memories stay, cause it's all right.
It's beautiful to cry

So I dried that tear and several others
So many memories rediscovered
So much joy and too much pain
The more I thought about the past, the more those tears were flooding fast
So one more time, I called His name and He said

Son it's beautiful to cry. it cleanses your heart and mind and that's why
So go on, wipe those tears away. but let those memories stay
Cause it's all right
It's beautiful to cry

Why are we always asking why
Don't you know that everywhere you've been is all of who you are
It's beautiful to cry
So whether you let them come or you wipe those tears away, don't let those memories fade
Cause it's all right it's beautiful to cry
It's beautiful to cry, beautiful to cry
