Don't Cry Out Loud

Don’t Cry Out Loud / We Had This Time

Baby cried the day the circus came to town'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by herSo she painted on a smile and took up with some clownWhile she danced without a net upon the wire

I know a lot about her, 'cause you seeBaby, is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loudJust keep it insideAnd learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fallRemember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top downThey left behind her dreams among the litterAnd the different kind of love she thought she'd foundThere was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter

But Baby can't be broken, 'cause you seeShe had the finest teacher, that was meI told her

Don't cry out loudJust keep it insideAnd learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fallRemember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loudJust keep it insideAnd learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fallRemember you almost made it

Don't cry out loudJust keep it insideAnd learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fallRemember you almost had it all
