Linda Ronstadt    Don’t Cry Now         written by J.D. Souther If you’ve ever been taken for money If you’ve ever gone down with your pride If you’ve ever stood up for a good friend and lost You know that the river is wide        Like a painter who waits for the sunrise With a picture in both of his hands It’s like part of your life is all ready begun With something you don’t understand       Don’t cry now oh   don’t cry now       Don’t cry now  no  no   don’t cry           When you’re lying alone in the night time And your lonliness turns into fear WIth the words of your memory fading and fading You drowned in  a river of tears      If you never thought much about freedom You might find yourself caught in some door If somebody you love more than your whole world And you’ve been weeping but you don’t know what for Don’t cry now oh   don’t cry now       Don’t cry now  no  no   don’t cry
