No Tears

Don't I know it? Nobody has to sayI've been lucky.Guess I was born that wayI thank my father,His absence has made me strongAnd I love my motherBut she had troubles with GodNo tears for the life that you've ledYou've had angels in your headDid you hear them singing in the endAll the things that you've seenAll the things that could have beenWell I've been everything I want to beSo no tears, no tears for meYeah, I've bathed in sunshineBut cherished the fading lightAnd I heard my heartbeat faulterOn a winter's nightI loved a womanShe didn't hear my prayersSo Lord, oh Lord, I'm yoursNo tears for the life that you've ledYou've had angels in your headDid you hear them singing in the endAll the things that you've seenAll the things that could have beenWell I've been everything I want to beSo no tears, no tears for me'Cause someone some where's going home tonightTrying to understand the sacrificeSo save your tears for those left behindFor the life that you've ledYou've had angels in your headDid you hear them singing in the endAll the things that you've seenAll the things that could have beenWell I've been everything I want to beSo no tears, no tearsNo tears for me
