No Tears

Don't I know it? Nobody has to say I've been lucky Guess I was born that way I thank my father His absence has made me strong And I love my mother But she had troubles with God No tears For the life that you led You had angels in your head Did you hear them singing in the end? All the things that you've seen All the things that could have been Well, 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 light And I heard my heartbeat faulter On a winter's night I loved a woman But she didn't hear my prayers So Lord, oh Lord, I'm yours No tears For the life that you led You had angels in your head Did you hear them singing in the end? All the things that you've seen All the things that could have been Well, I've been everything I want to be So, no tears, no tears 'Cause someone somewhere's going home tonight Trying to understand the sacrifice So save your tears for those left behind For the life that you led You had angels in your head Did you hear them singing in the end? All the things that you've seen All the things that could have been Well, I've been everything I want to be So, no tears, no tears No tears for me
