I'm Not Going To Cry

(Intro)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.

(Verse)
He called me up and said
meet me, at the cafe.
There's flowers on your table
and I'll be a little late.
So I hurried to the cafe,
found the flowers right away.
Then I sat down at the table
and read the card that said:

(Verse)
I hate to break your heart,
but I'm leaving town tonight.
I'm going back to my wife
and try to make things right.
Here's a dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good bye.
And I wont be there to say solong,
cause I don't want to see you cry.

(Chorus)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.
Now there just a riminder
that his wife I'll never be.
A dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good by.
He didn't even say solong,
so, I'm not going to cry.

(Break)

(Verse)
So I gathered up my flowers
and took them home that night.
I placed them on my table,
in plain open sight.
A year has come and gone,
and I'm still all alone.
Just like my dozen pretty flowers,
I'm just the girl he left behind.

(Chorus)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.
And there still a reminder
that his wife I'll never be.
A dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good bye.
He wasn't even there to say solong,
cause he didn't wanna see me cry.

(Break)

(Bridge)
As time passes by,
I wonder how he feels,
knowing that he left behind
a heart that never heals.
And if he could see me now,
I'm sure he'd be supprised.
Still no tears in my eyes
cause, I'm not going to cry.

(Outro)
A dozen wilted flowers
on the table just for me.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

When I read it, not singing it, I see what your talking about. You did well the way you picked up on that.

I added the breaks to help show how the flow does continue smoothly.

But it is a slow song, sung at a moderately slow tempo, which helps it sound like a really "sad song".

Thanks again Mr. Alexander.

Wayne, Awesome lyrics great story!! I agree with Mr.Alexander ....just smooth it out a little and its a hit.

Hi Slim,

Thank you very much. I'm working with the music and melody trying little different things. So far for me, changing lyrics has only thrown the song off track. I'll keep at it though.

I really appreciate your comments.

Take care.
