NO MORE TEARS TO CRY
(Robert Colby / Joe Darion)
as recorded by Helen O'Connell
with Marion Evans & his Orchestra
1958
I cried all night the night you went away,
When morning came I sat and cried all day!
You're three days gone and now my eyes are dry, hoy!
Baby I've got no more tears to cry!
You swore to me forever you'd be true,
Forever wasn't very long for you!
I've cried a million tears for your one lie, hoy!
Baby I've got no more tears to cry!
I know I should forget you,
But what good is it to know,
For though my arms won't hold you,
My heart won't let you go?
I hear that you went down to Old Saint Lou,
They say you're runnin' wild with someone new!
Oh please come back, come back or I will know, honey,
Baby,
Ooh baby,
Baby I've got no more tears to cry!
