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

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

last night i heard you crying in your sleep. your heart is yearning for an old love

with new love it's useless to compete;

it hurts me to know you are unhappy

'cause

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.
