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 all day
i must realize you will never see
life could be good if you only stayed with me

shanghai memories of 1945 i don't cry i don't cry
shanghai memories of 1945 i don't cry i don't cry
