(last night) i heard you crying in your sleep

i know you tried your best to love me

you smiled when your heart told you to weep

you tried to pretend that you were happy

but last night i heard you crying in your sleep

you gave the best years of your life dear

and each precious vow you tried to keep

i love you so much i want you happy

but last night i heard you crying in your sleep

your heart is yearning for an old love

it hurts me to know you are unhappy

but last night i heard you crying in your sleep

you know that you are free to go dear

and don't mind if i start to weep

i know i can never make you happy

cause last night i heard you crying in your sleep
