A GOOD CRY
Rick Babb/JMT
Why don’t you cry
I know you need to
A tear is meant to ease your pain
A flood could come
And it would wash you
So, don’t you try and hold it back
A good cry can’t be bad
Why don’t you cry
Come her, I’ll hold you
Our tears are meant to ease our pain
The flood has come
So, let it wash you
And don’t you try and hold it back
A good cry can’t be bad…

Rick came over with a lyric and this melody and another title. I said, “The title of this song is A GOOD CRY,” and we threw away everything but the first verse. I took the first verse and made it more immediate…“Come here. I’ll hold you…” That became the second verse.
Rick plays the piano…
Good gawd, this song still makes me cry, every time I hear it... and I have listened to this song for years. Good gawd, what a great song. You do know, old friend, that on most of your songs, I love your voice; but this song cries out for someone who is a true vocalist.
did you have a co\writer????????
