Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying

Don't let the sun catch you crying

The night's the time for all your tears

Your heart may be broken tonight

But tomorrow, in the morning light

Don't let the sun catch you crying

The nighttime's shadows disappear

And with them go all your tears

For the morning will bring joy

For every girl and boy

So don't let the sun catch you crying

We know that crying's not a bad thing

But stop your crying when the birds sing

It may be hard to discover

That you've been left for another

But don't forget that love's a game

And it can always come again

Oh

Don't let the sun catch you crying

Don't let the sun catch you crying, oh, no
