Don't Cry Out Loud
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't like parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
And she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lots about her'cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
Chorus:
We don't cry out loud, we keep it inside
Leam how to hide our feelings, fly high and proud
And if you should fall remember you almost had it all
Baby saw the day they pulled the big top down
They left be-hind her dreams among the litter
And the dif-f'rent kind of love she thought she'd found was nothing more than sawdust and sorne glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher, that's me
Chorus:
I taught her don't cry out loud, just keep it inside
Leam how to hide your feelings, fly high and proud
And if you should fall remember you almost had it
Don't cry out loud, keep it inside
