Don't cry
Don't cry
Brush those tears from your eyes
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Make your heart realize
Make your heart understand
It's no use to regret
There's no point in regret
Don't cry
Don't cry
Bid those blues a goodbye
Say farewell to those blues
Don't just sit there and sigh
Don't just sit there and sigh
Maybe soon you'll forget
Maybe soon you'll move on
I know, all your hopes and your dreams are gone
I know all your hopes and dreams have flown
But life, with its memories, goes on and on
But life, with its memories, just goes on
Please try
Please try
Maybe soon by and by
Maybe soon by and by
You'll give love one more try
You'll give love one more try
Oh, my darling, don't cry
Oh, my darling, don't cry
I know (yes, I know)
I know (yes, I know)
All your hopes and your dreams (hope and dreams) are gone (are gone)
All your hopes and your dreams (hope and dreams) are gone (are gone)
But life, with its memories, goes on and on
But life, with its memories, goes on and on
Please try
Please try
Maybe soon by and by
Maybe soon by and by
You'll give love one more try
You'll give love one more try
So, my darling, don't cry
So, my darling, don't cry
