I Don’t Want to Cry Songtext
von Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers

Don′t cry, don't cry, don′t cry

I don't want to cry
But I can't keep tears from my eyes (don′t cry, don′t cry)
And when I meet friends
I hope they don't realize
That I′m crying because you are gone
I'm crying because I′m alone
I don't want to cry
But I can′t keep tears from my eyes, oh-oh


My days and my night are all spent thinking of you, you, you
Thinking of you
Of places were went and things we used to do
My tears I've tried to hide
But, oh, darling how I'm hurting inside, oh
I don′t want to cry
But I can′t keep tears from my eyes

Why did you have to leave me? (Leave me)
Why did you have to go?
You know I can't love another
Darling I need you so, oh-oh
Hurry on back and wipe away all my, my, my, my, my (don′t cry, don't cry)
Wipe away my tears

I′m in the same place right where you left me dear
I thought that I was so strong
But, oh, darling, it looks like I'm wrong
I don′t want to cry
But I can't keep tears from my eyes

Please don't cry
