The hour of midnight rings, I’m all alone
While you’re in someone else’s arms
Thinking what might have been, I’m so alone
While you are sharing another’s charms

While you’re out having fun
I hear the clock striking one
And I’m crying myself to sleep
Wondering who’s kissing you
I hear the clock striking two
And I’m crying myself to sleep
I try to close my eyes
And make believe we’ve never been apart
And in my dreams it seems
You’re calling me Sweetheart
Just when you’re kissing me
I hear the clock striking three
And I’m crying myself to sleep

(Music)

Yes I’m crying myself to sleep
I try to close my eyes
And make believe we’ve never been apart
And in my dreams it seems
You’re calling me Sweetheart
Just when you’re kissing me
I hear the clock striking three
And I’m crying myself to sleep
