Neil Young - Hold Back The Tears Lyrics

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

I call her name out in the night
I feel for someone but still something isn't right
Ah, those streets I hesitate to use
Start looking better when night brings on the blues

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 its pain
When 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

Hello, my old friend
It's good to see you smiling
