Each day, just about sunset,
I watch you passing my door.
It's all I can do
Not to run to you,
But I don't wanna cry any more!

Night times, when there is moonlight,
The same old moon we knew before,
It's all I can do
Not to run to you,
But I don't wanna cry any more!

All that I've known about happiness,
Darling, is being with you!
Then I would find
Myself losing my mind
Over some careless thing you'd do!

Why can't I forget you?
I know so well what's in store;
A moment or two
In the clouds with you,
And back where I was before!
Oh I don't wanna cry any more!

All that I've known about happiness,

Why can't I forget you?
I know so well what's in store;
A moment or two
In the clouds with you,
Then back where I was before!
Oh I don't wanna cry any more!
