Don't Cry For Me

Album: Crazytalk

Chorus
The ball will drop in New York soon
And everyone here is singin' along yeah
All the lights they shine for you
You don't have to cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry love)

Verse 1
I held open the door, we drove away in the storm
Never felt it before, being shook to the core
Cause we don't sleep anymore, we don't sleep anymore
Wakin' up on the floor no we don't sleep anymore
(Don't cry love)
Drinkin' cheap champaigne, you're always gone when you're paying
For a downtown love, on an uptown train
Yeah your heart's gonna break, your heart's gonna break
Till they take it away

Chorus
The ball will drop in New York soon
And everyone here is singin' along yeah
All the lights they shine for you
You don't have to cry for me when I'm gone
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love)
Oh (don't cry)
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love, don't cry)

Verse 2
Young, dumb and afraid, in the springtime rains
Summer love went and came, almost blew us away
Yeah the seasons 'ill change, the seasons 'ill change
Watch the colours that fall, turning two into grey
Yeah the seasons 'ill change, so will you everyday
If you wanna stay young, baby don't be afraid
That your heart's gonna break, you're heart's gonna break
Till they take it away

Chorus
The ball will drop in New York soon
And everyone here is singin' along yeah
All the lights they shine for you
You don't have to cry for me when I'm gone
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love)
Oh (don't cry)
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love, don't cry)
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love)
Oh, (don't cry)
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
(Don't cry, don't cry love, don't cry)

Reprise
All the lights they shine for you
You don't have to cry for me when I'm gone
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
