No Tears

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] For the life that you lead You had angels in your head Did you hear them singing in the air? All the things that do seem All the things that could have been Well I've been everything I wanna be So no tears, no tears for me [Verse 2] Yeah I've bathed in sunshine But cherished the fading light And I heard my heartbeat falter On a winters night I loved a woman But she didn't hear my prayers So lord, oh lord, I'm yours No tears [Chorus] [Bridge] Because someone somewhere's going home tonight Try to understand the sacrifice So save your tears for those left behind [Chorus]
