Lyrics Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

I Won't Sing

I see you out there doing what you do so well

You smile and it’s like some bright star just fell

People crowd around you as you hold out your hand

I feel the past slip through my fingers

Like the last few grains of sand

The sun will rise again

But it won’t shine

A moon will light the midnight sky

But it won’t be mine

You may hear me laugh

But it won’t mean anything

They can play my favorite song

But I won’t sing

The melody you play still sounds as sweet

As the first time that I hear it

And it swept me on my feet

That song we sang together

No I can’t stand to hear it anymore

Cause it tears me up inside

But in a different way than it did before

The sun will rise again

But it won’t shine

A moon will light the midnight sky

But it won’t be mine

You may hear me laugh

But it won’t mean anything

They can play my favorite song

But I won’t sing

Why do we drift so far from the things we love

And how did we sink into what we swore we'd rise above

But I still love you and I wish for all the best

I remember the good times, yea

Forget the rest

The sun will rise again

But it won’t shine

A moon will light the midnight sky

But it won’t be mine

You may hear me laugh

But it won’t mean anything

They can play my favorite song

But I won’t sing
