Don't Cry Ilene Lyrics

Vonda Shepard Don't Cry Ilene

He had his father's eyes
And his mother's point of view
There was no disguise
He couldn't see through

Sometimes the little things
They don't seem so small
But they had a good thing overall, yeah

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene, oh no

Oh, there was a rainbow over here
He didn't see it from over there
'Cause black and white are fine
But I think he's color blind

Watching over me
There must have been some kind of mystery
Because I wanted him too
But it was wrong, all wrong

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene, no, no

I don't know exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene, oh no
Don't cry
