[Verse 1]
Don't I know it
Nobody has to say
I've been lucky
Guess I was born that way
I thank my father
His absence has made me strong
And I love my mother
But she had troubles with God
No tears

[Chorus]
For the life that you lead
You had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the air?
All the things that do seem
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I wanna be
So no tears, no tears for me

[Verse 2]
Yeah I've bathed in sunshine
But cherished the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat falter
On a winters night
I loved a woman
But she didn't hear my prayers
So lord, oh lord, I'm yours
No tears
[Chorus]
For the life that you lead
You had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the air?
All the things that do seem
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I wanna be
So no tears, no tears for me

[Bridge]
Because someone somewhere's going home tonight
Try to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind

[Chorus]
For the life that you lead
You had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the air?
All the things that do seem
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I wanna be
So no tears, no tears for me
