Please Don't Cry - Poem by Joe Green Please don't cry I'm not really gone When you look out the window I'll be standing on the lawn Please don't cry I'll see you again Don't be sad Keep up your chin Please don't cry I'm not really dead When you cry yourself to sleep I'll be by your bed Please don't cry Just because we had to part As long as you remember me I'll live in your heart Please don't cry I'm not gone forever I'll be a cool and gentle breeze In hot summer weather Please don't cry Don't run and hide When you need a shoulder to lean on I'll be by your side Please don't cry When you're sad and weak I'll be there To kiss you on the cheek Please don't cry This is just a goodbye So, please, oh please Baby, do not cry
