Does anybody remember this song that was released in 1987? Love the guitar intro to this song especially, as well as the melody. Been jamming to this song a lot lately, love it!


Paul Carrack - Don't Shed A Tear Lyrics


Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
All that I saw in you
Now I see through

Chorus:
Don't shed a tear for me
My life won't end-without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise-without you

A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slick chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for
I want it more

Chorus

You ain't givin'
Well, I'm not takin'
I'm not missin'
What we ain't makin'

All that I saw in you
Now I see through

Chorus 2X

Glad to hear that someone remembers this song. I was starting to hear crickets chirping over here.

This would be a cool song to play air guitar to as well.

I like it.

That's twice now this week that somebody's done a thread on a song I've been thinking of. Strange...unless people are reading my mind. No, I'm not paranoid. And saying somebody is reading my mind is making me sound like a former Orger who's no longer here to defend herself, so I should just shut up!


Anyway, I used to love hearing this song on the radio. It came out in 1987 when I was in 8th grade. Paul Carrack used to be a part of Mike and the Mechanics. I liked them and I loved this tune. Good pick.

Thanks. Didn't know that Paul Carrack was in the band Mike and the Mechanics; I used to like them too back in the 80's. Like I said on another thread, I'm hopelessly old school.
