I Don't Want to Cry Anymore

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

Each night just about sunset

I watch you passing my door

It's all I can do not to run to you

But I don't want to cry anymore



Nighttime when there is no light

The same old moon I knew before

It's all I can do not to run to you

But I don't want to cry anymore



All that I've known about happiness

I found just being with you

Then I would find myself losing my mind

Over some careless thing you would do



Oh, why can't I forget you

I know so well what is in store

A moment or two up in the clouds with you

Then back where I was before

No, I don't want to cry anymore



All that I've known about happiness

I found just being with you

Then I would find myself losing my mind

Over some careless thing you would do



Oh, why can't I forget you

I know so well what is in store

A moment or two up in the clouds with you

Then back where I was before

No, I don't want to cry anymore
