"A Shoulder to Cry On" is a ballad performed by American singer-songwriter Tommy Page.

Released in 1988, the song became one of Page's early hits, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[1] Lyrically, the song is about a man who will be "a shoulder to cry on" for his friend (possibly his lover).

Page confessed that whenever he wrote a love song, it was about someone who didn't exist.

However, he explained that the song was not about his imagination, but about his friend who was very sick at that time.
