Don’t Cry Lyrics by Art Lund, Jo Sullivan

The Most Happy Fella (Original Cast Recording)

1956

[JOE]
Don't cry, don't cry
Come on back in the house and don't cry
Come on back in the house
And get out from under that old cold sky
Don't weep, don't weep
Come on back in the house, little sheep
Come on back in the house for a smile of welcome
And go to sleep
Guess I know how you feel
It's that wild runaway feeling in your heart
When you've had the wrong dream
And you wake with a start!
Well, don't cry, don't cry
Come on back in the house and don't cry
Come on back in the house
And get out from under that old cold sky
Guess I know how you feel...
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Yes, you know how I feel! Well, don't you worry. I went through with it, didn't I? I said I'd marry him— Well, I married him. 
[JOE, spoken]
And you'll never bе sorry. 
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Take your hands off of me!
[JOE, spoken]
You know I had nothing to do with that photograph. 
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
No, but you're laughin' about it. 
[JOE, spoken]
No, kid, no. 
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Insidе you're laughin' how I got myself stuck with a— Take your hands off of me!
[JOE]
Tony sure is a fine fella
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Leave me alone!
[JOE]
With the strength of a giant
[ROSABELLA & JOE]
He's an old man, an old man And the soul
Of a saint
I don't want him leanin' all over me!
With the strength of a giant
And the smile of a baby Strength of a giant, but an old man
An old man
I don't want him breathin' all over me!
[JOE]
Don't cry, don't cry
Come on back in the house and don't cry
Come on back in the house
And get out from under that old cold sky
