Lyrics for Song: I Didn't Cry Today
Lyrics for Album: Mary Frances (RCA Victor) [1969]



(Skeeter Davis)



The hurt's gettin' sore it don't hurt so bad and might even go away

I've been cryin' a long long time but I didn't cry today

I thought my tears would never leave they been faithful since he went away

Yes my tears have gone to another's eyes cause I didn't cry today.



For the first time in a long time I didn't frown

My lips started smile down I look so up instead of down

I might just find me a new love if a new love comes my way

My hopes're high my eyes're dry I didn't cry today.



--- Instrumental ---



For the first time in a long time I didn't frown

My lips started smile down I look so up instead of down

I might just find me a new love if a new love comes my way

My hopes're high my eyes're dry I didn't cry today.



I didn't cry today uh, uh, I didn't cry today

I started smilin', I didn't cry today...
