CRYIN' MYSELF TO SLEEP
(Bob Atcher)


Eddie Dean - 1940


Oh, why must the nights be so long and so blue
And why must I always be thinkin' of you
Oh, why have I loved you so many long years
And why can't my mem'ries wash away with my tears

I'm cryin' myself to sleep
Each lonely night I weep
I'm alright through the day
But when day goes away
I'm cryin' myself to sleep

(Instrumental Break)

I loved you, my darlin', my memories burn
I'm thinkin' of you, dear, and love unreturned
It just doesn't matter to you, so it seems
That I can't forget you, not even in dreams

I'm cryin' myself to sleep
Each lonely night I weep
I'm alright through the day
But when day goes away
I'm cryin' myself to sleep
