don't cry or ask me why
don't shed no tears
when all is known
we must move on
so don't cry my dear

we've both played our parts
sewn up hearts
only to be torn again
one thing is clear
this has to end
so don't cry my dear

to me, you were everything
but maybe everything was too much
to me, you were all I had
it's funny all the pain that comes out love

don't cry
time will provide
the blame can be shared
it won't be long
we must be strong
it only hurts cos we cared

the feeling has died
we rode the tide
that much is sure
love is grace
we cannot waste
so don't cry my dear

to me, you were everything
but maybe everything was too much
to me, you were all I had
it's funny all the pain that comes out love
