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
Then 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 air?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Will I've been everything I want to be?
So, no tears, no tears for me
Yeah, I've bathed in sunshine, but cherish the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat falter 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 air?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Will I've been everything I want to be?
So, no tears, no tears
'Cause someone's somewhere 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 air?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Will I've been everything I want to be?
So, no tears, no tears, no tears for me
