Don't Tell 'Em

While I was singing happy songs to a crowd full of strangers
Just before the police took I away
Oh the ladies were smiling and the children were dancing
And then a kindly stranger came to me and said...

CHORUS
Don't tell 'em, 'bout the loves that you left crying
Don't tell 'em, 'bout the songs you haven't sung
And if you find yourself alone
On that street corner singing
Sing one for my baby, because I'm far away.

How many time, oh Lord, have I looked to your sweet evening sky
With each little star whispering sweet songs to sing
They said sing to the people, for tonight your gonna play
your gonna shake this town and you turn it around
And then you go down the road on your way!

CHORUS
