DON'T CRY ON MY SHOULDER
(Sol Marcus / Benny Benjamin)

as recorded by Connie Francis
with Orchestra conducted by Stan Applebaum
1962


Don't cry on my shoulder for someone else's love,
Please be happy while you're dancin' with me.
Don't cry on my shoulder for someone else's kiss,
Tonight you must forget what used to be!

Don't cry on my shoulder for someone else's arms,
I'm impatient, darlin', to hold you tight!
Let us just have laughter and music fill our ears,
And no self pity tears for them tonight!

Dance and be merry, don't let the teardrops start,
Forget every memory and dance her out of your heart!

Why should you be longin' for someone who don't care?
You'll be better off with somebody new!
Don't cry on my shoulder for someone else's love,
But share the love so true I hold for you!

Dance and be merry, don't let the teardrops start,
Forget every memory and dance her out of your heart!

Why should you be longin' for someone who don't care
You'll be better off with somebody new!
Don't cry on my shoulder for someone else's love,
But share the love so true I hold for you,
This love so true I hold for you!
