From the recording Hold Your Tears
Sometimes you just feel like telling a sad story. Life contains a lot of things and sadness is just one of them. To recognize it is to allow some room for happiness to enter. Take a look at these lyrics and you’ll see that the star of the story found some measure of happiness in her life. I like to think she fully enjoyed the good parts.
Lyrics
Hold Your Tears
Verse 1:
Once you were just a princess, just your daddy’s little girl,
But then he had to leave you and ride across the world,
At the leaving door he said you had to face your fears,
You were hanging on for life, he told you hold your tears
Chorus:
Suns set and heartbeats fade,
Cowboys ride away,
You try your best to hold your tears,
But there’s nothing you can say,
Verse 2:
Later at that high school dance you met that macho boy,
You thought for sure he was the one but he broke you like a toy,
You were scared to walk away so you learned to hold your tears,
You felt your life had ended despite your tender years,
Skip chorus:
Bridge:
It took a while to find the strength to walk out and be free,
You thought you’d always be alone but that was not to be
Verse 3:
In a while you found someone who treated you with care,
Who loved you with each heartbeat in the life you shared,
But now that heartbeat’s fading, after many loving years,
In a tender quiet whisper he tells you hold your tears,
Chorus:
Tag:
You try your best to hold your tears,
But there’s nothing you can say,
