Close Encounters

Don't cry now

You know it happens to the best of us

Goodbye now

And don't forget about the rest of us

I'm staying

You never know if they can use me here

I'm praying

I won't be looking when you disappear

And everybody's looking out

For close encounters of another kind

And it won't help me if I shout

But I'm getting pretty close this time

You're on my mindDon't worry

I should have told you to beware of me

Don't hurry

Come back to see whatever's left of me

I've cried some

But I suppose I'm getting colder now

You've died some

But even you are getting older now

And everybody's looking out

For close encounters of another kind

And it won't help me if I shout

But I'm getting pretty close this time

You're on my mind, all of the timeDon't cry now

Don't cry now
