Never Make You Cry
Eric Clapton · Behind The Sun [1985]
With everything I feel inside,
And holding me the way you do,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.
I'll never ever make you cry.
I'll never ever say goodbye.
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I'm yours until the day I die.
I'll watch you fall asleep at night,
I'll smile and kiss you, hold you tight,
I'll hold your hand and close my eyes,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.
