Don'€™t Cry Now Lyrics

Linda Ronstadt Don't Cry Now written by J.D. Souther
If you've ever been taken for money
If you've ever gone down with your pride
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
You know that the river is wide
Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
With a picture in both of his hands
It's like part of your life is all ready begun
With something you don't understand
Don't cry now oh don't cry now
Don't cry now no no don't cry
When you're lying alone in the night time
And your lonliness turns into fear
WIth the words of your memory fading and fading
You drowned in a river of tears
If you never thought much about freedom
You might find yourself caught in some door
If somebody you love more than your whole world
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for
Don't cry now oh don't cry now
Don't cry now no no don't cry
From Linda Ronstadt "Don't Cry Now"
