If You Can Learn How to Cry

(album: For The First Time - 1975)

Everyone who has loved and lost can try again
Don't think your life is through because it's just beginning
You have to lose sometimes to taste the joy of winning
Your time to live is now

If you can learn how to cry
You can learn to laugh
If you can learn how much pain a heart can bear
I know that you can learn to care
Don't be afraid that I would hurt you
I, I will never let you down or let you go
And come what will I know I'll never hurt you

If you can learn how to cry
You can learn to laugh
If you can learn how to live in loneliness
I know you'll find your happiness
Don't be afraid to let me love you
I, I will never let you down or let you go
And come what will I know I'll always love you

Oh, oh, oh, don't be afraid that I would hurt you
I, I will never let you down or let you go
And come what will I know I'll always love you

(If you can learn how to cry)
(You can learn to laugh)
You can learn to laugh
(If you can learn how to live in loneliness)
(I know you find your happiness)
Don't be afraid to let me love you
I, I will never let down or let you go
And come what will I know I'll always love you

(If you can learn how to cry)
(You can learn to laugh) Oh, ohh
(If you can learn how to live in loneliness)
(I know you find your happiness)
Don't...
