Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Here we are again
That old familiar place
Where the winds will blow
No one ever knows the time or space
Don't cry for me
Don't shed a tear
The time I've shared with you will always be
And when I'm gone
Please carry on
Don't cry for me
Don't shed a tear
See no one is to blame, oh no
My death was meant to be
Don't carry guilt or shame
The reason why I came
Soon you're gonna see
So don't cry for me
Don't shed a tear
The time I've shared with you will always be
And when I'm gone
Please stay, please stay carry on, oh yes
Don't cry for me
Don't shed a tear
Don't cry for me
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry for me
