Don't Cry Out LoudArtist: Melissa Manchester (peak Billboard position # 10 in 1978-79)Words by Carol Bayer Sager and Music by Peter AllenBaby cried the day the circus came to town'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by herSo she painted on a smile and took up with some clownWhile she danced without a net upon the wireI know a lot about 'er 'cause, you seeBaby is an awful lot like meDon't cry out loudJust keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fall, remember you almost had it allBaby saw that when they pulled that big top downThey left behind her dreams among the litterThe different kind of love she thought she'd foundThere was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitterBut baby can't be broken 'cause you seeShe had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'erDon't cry out loudJust keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fall, remember you almost had it allDon't cry out loudJust keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fall, remember you almost made it Don't cry out loudJust keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelingsFly high and proudAnd if you should fall, remember you almost had it allTranscribed by Ronald E.
