Tears don't always come to my eyes when I yawn. That only happens when I'm extermely tired and my eyes are strained (because they want to close and go to sleep but I'm forcing them to stay open... which I'm guessing causes them to water).

thats odd ive never had that happen

When you yawn you essentially contract a lot of facial muscles. These contracting facial muscles squeeze your tear glands and your nasolacrimal duct forcing tears out into your eye. And that is why you "cry" when you yawn. Another said that it was just a coincidence of where are glands and muscles are. There is more involved than only the muscles and the lachrymal or (tear) gland.The more successful the yawn the more the eyes water.
