I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow and I make believe that wrong is right
Your wedding day will be tomorrow but there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
And I'll believe that you still love me when you wear your veil of white
But if you think that you're above me there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
Why oh why should you desert me are you doing this for spite
And if you only want to hurt me there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight

Shame oh shame for what you're doing are you doing this for spite
You don't care whose life you ruin but there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
And there'll be no teardrops tonight

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
