Don't Cry Here we are again that old familiar place where the wind will blow, no one ever knows the time or space.
Don't cry for me don't shed a tear the time I've shared with you will always be and when I'm gone still carry on don 't cry for me.
No one is the blame my death was meant to be don't carry guilt or shame reason why I came soon you'll see.
Don 't cry when life is not the joy it should be with life comes pain soon time will end its course appointed then you will rewarded and all this world will see.
