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 


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 


Take from me my part is dressed 

I know I'll miss your sweet 

Take from me my reverie 

Sail away from China sea(*)
