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 end? 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 end? 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 end? 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
