Lyrics for Gerry & the Pacemakers’ “Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying”

Don’t let the sun catch you cryin’

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 cryin’

The night-time 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 cryin’

 

So don’t let the sun catch you cryin’

We know that cryin’s not a bad thing

But stop your cryin’ 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 cryin’

Don’t let the sun catch you cryin’, oh no

Oh, oh, oh”

A record by the hit UK band, Gerry & the Pacemakers.
