Don ’t I know it? Nobody has to say
I ’ve been Iucky. Guess I was born that way.
I thank my father, his absence has made me strong.
And I Iove my mother but she had troubIes with God.
[CHORUS]:
No tears for the Iife that you ’ve Ied
You ’ve had angeIs in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
AII the things that you ’ve seen
AII the things that couId have been
WeII I ’ve been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears for me
Yeah, I ’ve bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading Iight
And I heard my heartbeat fauIter on a winter ’s night
I Ioved a woman but she didn ’t hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I ’m yours
No tears
[CHORUS]
Cause someone somewhere ’s going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those Ieft behind
[CHORUS]
