Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Someone else has taken my place, I can read it right in your face
Even tho’ our sweet romance ends, we can still be friends
Chorus
Don’t feel sorry for me, I’m glad that you, found someone true
In your eyes I can see, tears of sweet sympathy
Tho’ you’re everything I had, don’t you worry ’cause I’m sad
If you’re happy, I’ll be glad, don’t feel sorry for me
- I will try to feel satisfied, even tho’ you’re not by my side
You will always live in my heart, when we’re miles apart
Fox Trot chorus:
Don’t feel sorry for me, I’d rather love you, still I must forget
I’m glad that you are going to, somebody who can make you happy
In your eyes I can see that you are sorry, that we ever met
Tears of sweet sympathy, that’s all I get
Guess I oughta cry, lay me down and die, you were everything I had
But I’ll see it thru, best of luck to you, don’t you worry ’cause I’m sad
If it makes you happy, to be with someone else
Then I’ll know that I’ll be glad, so don’t feel sorry for me
