We were special people
Feeling perfect love
Protected by each other
Like a hand inside a glove
Now you say you’re leavin’
As you wave goodbye
You won’t see me cry
You won’t see me cry

Taking things for granted
Drove us both apart
Fell into a pattern
But I fell and lost the heart

Isn’t it a pity
That we didn’t try
But you won’t see me cry
You won’t see me, you won’t see me cry
You won’t see me cry
You won’t see me, you won’t see me cry

Maybe I will write you
Someday I may phone
To see if you’re survivin’
Living all alone
You know that I still love you
Of that I cannot lie
But you won’t see me cry

You won’t see me, you won’t see me cry
You won’t see me cry
You won’t see me, you won’t see me cry
