Hold Back the Tears by Jessi Colter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello, my old friend
It's good to see you smiling
You've been around so long, you must be strong
And single life really has its fine points
Like friends to help you out when things go wrong

[Chorus]
Hold back the tears
That you've been crying
Push off the fears
When they come around
Hold back the tears
And keep on trying
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love

[Verse 2]
Two lying fools
And then four crying eyes
Counting on one another to survive
Crazy love must surely have this pain
If getting up means going down again
[Chorus]
