I Don’t Want to Cry - Sam Cooke

I don’t want to cry\nbut i can’t keep tears from my eyes\nAnd when I meet friends,\nI hope they don’t realize\nthat I’m crying because I’m alone\nI don’t want to cry\nbut i can’t keep tears from my eyes\nmy days and my night are all spend thinking of you\nof places we went and things we used to do My tears I’ve tried to hide\nBut darling how I’m hurting inside\nI don’t want to cry\nbut i can’t keep tears from my eyes\nWhy did you have to leave me Why did you have to go You know I can’t love another\nDarling I need you so Carry on back and wipe away all my tears\nI’m in the same place right where you left me dear\nI thought that I was so strong\nBut O darling, it looks like I’m wrong\nI don’t want to cry\nbut i can’t keep tears from my eyes
