I’m wondering how I came to be here Lying alone trying hard not to shed a tear Remember daddy said “ boys don’t stay for long” They always think that there’s something wrong
I open up my eyes and I see Little reminders of when you’re here with me I’m hooked to the telephone Please you’ve got to call I know you never promised anything at all
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don’t cry I don’t cry Shanghai memories of 1945 I don’t cry I don’t cry
My last two weeks go by and I stay All alone in my room with no-one all day I must realize you will never see Life could be good if you only stayed with me
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don’t cry I don’t cry Shanghai memories of 1945 I don’t cry I don’t cry
