I’m wondering how I came to be here
Lying alone tring 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 to play
I must realize you will never see
Life could be good if you only stayed with me
