Baby cried the day

the circus came to town

'cause she didn't

like parades

just passin' by her

She painted on a smile

and took off

with some clown

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

just keep it inside

learn how to hide

those feelings

Fly high and proud

and if you should fall

remember you

almost had it all...

Baby cried the day

they pulled the big top down

and left behind her dreams

among the litter

Well, the different

kind of love

she thought she'd found

was no more than some

sawdust and some glitter

But baby can't be broken

'cause you see

she had the greatest teacher

that was me

We don't cry out loud

keep it inside

learn how to hide

your feelings

Fly high and proud

if you should fall

remember you

almost had it all...

We don't cry out loud

keep it inside

learn how to hide

your feelings

Fly high and proud

if you should fall

remember you

al...most had... it...

all.....
