I Don't Want To Cry

(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry) I don't want to cry But I can't keep tears from my eyes And when I meet friends, I hope they don't realize That I'm crying because I'm alone I don't want to cry But I can't keep tears from my eyes My days and my night are all spend thinking of you Of places we went and things we used to do My tears I've tried to hide But darling how I'm hurting inside I don't want to cry But I can't keep tears from my eyes Why did you have to leave me Why did you have to go You know I can't love another Darling I need you so Carry on back and wipe away all my tears I'm in the same place right where you left me dear I thought that I was so strong But O darling, it looks like I'm wrong I don't want to cry But I can't keep tears from my eyes --- I Don't Want to Cry - Sam Cooke
