Píseň: I Don't Want To Cry

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke
(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
