Don't cry now   You know it happens to the best of us   Goodbye now   And don't forget about the rest of us   I'm staying   You never know if they can use me here   I'm praying   I won't be looking when you disappear   And everybody's looking out   For close encounters of another kind   And it won't help me if I shout   But I'm getting pretty close this time   You're on my mind      Don't worry   I should have told you to beware of me   Don't hurry   Come back to see whatever's left of me   I've cried some   But I suppose I'm getting colder now   You've died some   But even you are getting older now   And everybody's looking out   For close encounters of another kind   And it won't help me if I shout   But I'm getting pretty close this time   You're on my mind, all of the time      Don't cry now   Don't cry now
