Deborah Cox (born July 13, 1974) is a
Canadian singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Born and raised in Toronto, she
began performing on television commercials at age 12, and entered various
talent shows in her teenage years before becoming a professional backing
vocalist for Celine Dion.
In 1994, Cox relocated to the United States and was signed to Arista Records by Clive Davis,
releasing her self-titled
debut album the following year. Her second
studio album, One Wish(1998), was certified platinum in
the United States. It was marked by the commercial success of the pop crossover single "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here",
which would become her most successful entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number two and remaining there for eight
consecutive weeks. Cox signed with J Records for her third studio album The Morning After (2002), which saw moderate commercial success.
Cox ventured into acting in the 2000s, making
her film debut in the Canadian drama film Love
Come Down (2000) and her stage debut in 2004,
in the title role in the Broadway musical Aida.
She has since appeared in smaller films and several musical productions,
including the horror-drama Jekyll & Hyde, the biographical musical
Josephine and the musical adaptation of The
Bodyguard. Cox's most recent studio albums, Destination Moon(2007) and The Promise (2008), have been released
through her own independent record label, Deco Recording Group. In 2017, her
single "Let the World Be Ours Tonight" became her 13th number-one hit
on Billboard's Dance
Club Songs over the span of three consecutive
decades. In 2016, Billboard listed Cox at 23rd on its list of the Greatest of
All Time Top Dance Club Artists. An eight-time Juno Award nominee, she has won four awards and is often cited as Canada's top
R&B artist.
"The Sound of My Tears" is a song
by Canadian singer Deborah Cox.
It was written by Keith Crouch and Kipper Jones for her self-titled
debut studio album(1995), while production was
helmed by Crouch. The
song was released as the album's fourth single along with "It Could've Been You".
Always the life of
the party
Always the clown of the class
All of my friends see me happy baby
But happy is only a mask
Nobody knows when I'm
alone inside my room
I sing another tune
[Chorus:]
I'm goin' down
When I hear the sound
The sound of my tears
When you're not around
It's all I can do
When I listen to
The sound of my tears baby when I'm missing you
Don't mind the sounds
of the city baby
Don't mind the noise of the crowd
Just when I'm lonely with my thoughts of you
The silence is always too loud
Pay it no mind
You know the truth behind the smile
It's only just a lie
[Chorus x 2]
Pay it no mind
You know the truth behind the smile
It's only just a lie
[Repeat chorus to
fade]
