Clearly cried the day
the circus came to town
Cause she didn't like parades
just passing by her
So she painted on her smile
and took up with some clown
And she danced without a net
upon the wire
I know a lot about her, cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
We don't cry out loud,
we keep it inside,
learn how to hide our feelings,
fly high and proud,
and if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all.
Baby saw the day
they pulled the big top down
They left behind her dream s
among the litter
And the different kind of love
she thought she'd found
Was noth ing more than sawdust
and some glitter
But baby can't be broken, can she see
She had the finest teacher,
that's me
We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside,
we learn how to hide our feelings
Lie an d fraud, and if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
We don't cry out loud,
we keep it inside
We learn how to hide our feelings,
love,
And if you should fall,
remember you almost had
it all
We keep it inside,
we learn how to hide our feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Fly high an d proud
We keep it inside
We learn how to hide our fears
An d if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all
