First You Cry - Maura O'Connell

They don’t come cheap

When they look like that

And they’re so hard to keep

When they move so fast

Soon you’ll find

It’s all for the best

Put the past behind

And the hurt to rest

But first you cry

And then you sigh

Somebody lied

And you can’t run and hide

Don’t be so sad

It ain’t so bad

You’ll get by

Oh but first you cry

Candy mountains

Streets of gold

Oh the promises

How they just turned cold

Still the sun will shine

And there’ll be warmer days

You’ll be feelin' fine

And you’ll just walk away

But first you cry (First you cry)

And then you sigh (Then you sigh)

Somebody lied (Lied)

Oh and you can’t run and hide

Don’t be so sad (Don't be sad)

It ain’t so bad (Ain't so bad)

You’ll get by (Ooh)

Oh but first you cry

Don’t look back

There’s nothin' to gain

'Cause there ain’t no happiness

Without a little rain

But first you cry (First you cry)

Then you sigh (Then you sigh)

Somebody lied (Lied)

Oh and you can’t run and hide

Don’t be so sad (Don't be sad)

It ain’t so bad (AIn't so bad)

You’ll get by (Ooh)

But first you cry

First you cry (First you cry)

Then you sigh (Then you sigh)

Somebody lied (Lied)

And you can’t run and hide

Don’t be so sad (Don't be sad)

It ain’t so bad (Ain't so bad)

You’ll get by (Ooh)

But first you cry
