We all have our ups and downs, love thy Mother. Simple.
Lyrics
In the blink of an eye
It can all go wry
there's no need to try
No need to ask why
No need to sigh
Real men don't cry
I can't stomach the notion that real men have no emotion
How I see it is the way I feel shows my devotion
So when I shed a tear there's no need for a commotion
It's just one drop in a puddle to my ocean
I go deeper than blue
Dense, translucent and see-through
Everyday a different hue
If you took a moment to look I'd show you
Hey Mother, Hey Sue
Thank You
You gave me life and with you I grew
I understand it's because of you I flew
Flew high and soared past my peers
You were there for me for 20 years
It appears you never know just how much someone cares
Until your final fears are realised
I realise it's because of you I know a real man cries
In the blink of an eye
It can all go wry
there's no need to try
No need to ask why
No need to sigh
Real men don't cry
You've been to lost a demon I can't help to fight
But I hope to assist with the words that I write
I think about you every day, every night
Think about how your eyes were filled with fright
I understood and lived your plight
I'll never hate you I know you thought I might
And when you're ready we can both take flight
Out of sight, not out of mind, when I marry you'll still get an invite
You know you're doing wrong but you still taught me right
You were there to hold me tight
There when my Dad was nowhere in sight
Gave me food, shelter provided heat and light
I hope this message reaches you tonight
There's no maybe
I'm a real man because you made me
I still think you betrayed me
But others thoughts haven't swayed me
Memories will never jade me
Nobody will ever persuade me
That I'm a not real man
And I'll always be your baby
In the blink of an eye
It can all go wry
there's no need to try
No need to ask why
No need to sigh
Real men don't cry
