[Chorus]
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back with you one day soon
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back soon

[Verse 1]
I know that life can make it hard today
When the one you love is gone away
But you have to be strong--you must carry on life, love, mhm
Although time sees that you won't forget
There is always light shining bright within
And we must always understand
Our love is stronger than a man
And wider than all of his love

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back with you one day soon
(I'll be with you soon)
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back soon

[Verse 2]
Stand tall, keep striving to be positive
In your memories love will always win
Keep your visions clear and bright
Just take control of life
I see the sadness that you feel inside
Wipe your tears away, hold your head up high
Believe in love, believe in hope
And trust that you will survive
And find your piece of mind

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back with you one day soon
Don't cry for me, baby
I'll be back soon

[Bridge]
No
Don't cry, baby, dry your eyes
I know everything's gonna be alright
Don't cry, no no
Don't cry
Don't cry, baby, dry your eyes
I know everything's gonna be alright
Don't cry, no no
Don't cry
Don't cry, baby, dry your eyes
I know everything's gonna be alright
Don't cry, no no
Don't cry
Don't cry, baby, dry your eyes
I know everything's gonna be alright
Don't cry, no no
Don't cry

[Outro]
No no no no no no, no no no no no no
Don't cry
No no no no no no, no no no no no no

Brownstone is an female R&B trio that came to fame in the mid-90’s. The original members of the group were Nicci Gilbert, Monica “Mimi” Doby, and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell.

They released their debut album From The Bottom Up on Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label. It featured the #1 R&B smash “If You Love Me”.

Before recording their second album Still Climbing, they replaced Monica “Mimi” Doby with Kina Cosper. The second album yielded a solid hit in “5 Miles To Empty”, but the group disbanded before a third album could materialize.
