Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me)

Oh I can see

There ain't no room for me-

You're only holding out your heart in sympaty.

If there's another man

Then girl I understand.

Go on and take his hand

And don't you worry 'bout me.

Oh I'll be blue

And I'll be crying too-

But girl you know I only want what's best for you.

What good is all my pride

If our true love has died?

Go on and be his bri-ide

And don't you worry about me.

I'll be strong.

I'll try to carry on.

Although you know it won't be easy when you're gone.

I'll always think of you:

The tender love we knew.

But somehow I'll get through

So don't you worry 'bout me.

Ooooooooooh bay-ay-by.

Sweetie pie

Before you say goodbye

Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry:

Don't cry alone in pain

Don't ever feel ashamed

If you want me again

Just don't you worry 'bout me.

I love you

No matter what you do

I'll spend my whole life waiting if you want me to.

And if this is goodbye

You know I'd rather die

Then let you see me cry-

'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me.
