Don't Cry a Tear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Go if you must go
Turn if you must turn away
Don't cry a tear for me
Laugh if you can smile
Run if you're walking away
Don't cry a tear for me
Shout if you can speak
Sing if you mention my name
Don't cry a tear for me
Low in the valley, stand in the wind and the rain
High on the mountain, see the sun shining again
Shout if you can speak
Sing when you mention my name
Don't cry a tear for me
So go if you must go
Turn if you must turn away
Don't cry a tear for me.
