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.
