Neil Young - Hold Back The Tears lyrics

Hold Back The Tears

Neil Young

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.

Hold back the tears

That you've been cryin'.

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.

Two lying fools,

And then four cryin' eyes,

Counting on one another

to survive.

Crazy love

must surely have this pain,

If getting up

means going down again.

Hold back the tears

That you've been cryin'.

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.
