Hold Back the Tears Neil Young

[Intro]
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

[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]
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 booze

[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
