[Verse 1]
When the light comes
And you're feeling down
Cause your baby's out there
Somewhere running round
Don't start feeling blue
And feeling lonely too
It's hard I know
When that love ain't true
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Verse 2]
You just can't explain, but you know it's there
That empty feeling seems so unfair
What can you do when it's gone, it's gone
Because those loving feelings
Seem to hurt so long
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
It's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Instrumental Break 1:44-2:42]
[Verse 3]
Well, you work so long every day and night
Trying every thing that seems so right
But when a love falls a heart must break
And it's so hard, baby, it's so hard to take
[Chorus]
So if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry
A heartbreak will cool as time goes by
And it's so hard baby, well it's so hard baby
It's so hard baby, it's so hard to take
