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

When last two weeks go by and I stay

All alone in my room with no one to play

I must realize you will never see

Life could be good if you only stayed with me

Take from me my part is dressed

I know I'll miss your sweet

Take from me my reverie

Sail away from China sea

Shanghai memories of 1945

I don't cry I don't cry

Shanghai memories of 1945

I don't cry I don't cry

Shanghai memories of 1945

I don't cry I don't cry

Shanghai memories of 1945

I don't cry I don't cry
