Lyrics:

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow with the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'

The nighttime shadows disappear
And with them go all your tears
Cuz the morning will bring joy for every girl and boy
So don't let the sun catch you cryin'

We know that cryin's not a bad thing
But stop your cryin' when the birds sing
It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
But don't forget that love's the game
That can always come again
So don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Oh, no.

This song was written by Gerry Marsden of the British group Gerry and the Pacemakers (circa 1963), becoming their first and biggest U.S. hit. I never cease to be amazed by how many people give credit to an artist today not knowing that "this new tune" is actually several decades, not an original by their favorite artist. There is very little "new" under the sun anymore. Not to disparage a great artist or their ability to move people by performing a cover, realize where the true credit lies.

Not sure who you are talking to, but note the information and tags under the video.

I spend most of my time on Utube spreading hatred and racism. Rickie Lee Jones takes me away from all of that.  She is a brilliant artist who cannot be copied; please keep your renditions to yourself. Singing a cover is like legally stealing art. You can't come close to her, so why bother posting your pitiful "version" of her music? Please keep your fake sensitivity and your acoustic guitar to yourself. Post one of her songs instead. I love you, Rickie.

Are you saying this is not Rickie? Are you high?

[cj92it]

@RockAndFunk I believe what RockAndFunk is saying is that Rickie's "version" is a cover of someone else's original song . . . .

@cj92it

I assumed everyone (or the vast majority) of people choosing to watch/listen to this video would know this is a cover, and I think they do. Yes by "version" I mean not the original. Under "tags" I have "Gerry And The Pacemakers". There is no replacing the original, but I thought she did a very unique and cool job with this song.

Top shelf! Rickie has done a superb job here!

[Marie1Tina]

Umm... was that person serious, saying that this was a cover? It's not...

[HumongousJohnson]

@RockAndFunk Yes, I am.

@traveldiva27 And that is so what I think too-you hit the nail on the head!

@HumongousJohnson
