Lyrics I Don't Want to Cry Anymore - Billie Holiday, Barney Kessel, Ben Webster

I Don't Want to Cry Anymore

Each night, just about sunset
I watch you passing my door
It’s all I can do
Not to run to you
Cause I don’t want to cry anymore
Nighttime, when there is moonlight
The same old moon I knew before
It’s all I can do
Not to run to you
Cause I don’t want to cry anymore
All that I know 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
