[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 cryin'
Push off the fears when they come around
Hold back the tears and keep on tryin'
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love

[Verse 2]
Two lyin' 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

[Chorus]
Hold back the tears that you've been cryin'
Push off the fears when they come around
Hold back the tears and keep on tryin'
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love

[Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
Hold back the tears that you've been cryin'
Push off the fears when they come around
Hold back the tears and keep on tryin'
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love

Hold back the tears that you've been cryin'
Push off the fears when they come around
Hold back the tears and keep on tryin'
Just around the next corner may be waiting
