I’m Not Crying

By Jack Pearson & William Howse

Copyright 1995 by Candlefly Songs

Transcribed by Paul Gongola

Moonlight shining through my window

Cold wind blowing at my door

While I lay here thinking

Down on this killing floor

Blues falling down around me

Coming just like rain

Oh, it makes me wonder

How I can stand so much pain

I’m not crying, I’m not crying

Even though it hurts me so

More than you’ll ever know

I’m not crying

Long distance relation

That’s so close to me

Who I think of so often

But rarely get to see

Never thought I’d fall ’till I fell down

Reaching up from the ground

Looking for a helping hand

That was nowhere to be found

I’m not crying, I’m not crying

Even though it hurts me so

More than you’ll ever know

I’m not crying

I’m not crying, I’m not crying

Even though it hurts me so

More than you’ll ever know

I’m not crying

Even though it hurts me so

More than you’ll ever know

I’m not crying

It hurts me down in my soul

More than you’ll ever know

But I’m not crying
