I CRIED
(Tesone / Elias)
as recorded by Patti Page
with Orchestra conducted by Joe Reisman
1954
It was Winter when you told me you were leaving,
I cried, I cried, I cried "Oh please don't go!".
Came the Springtime with its love song so deceiving,
I cried, oh how I cried no one will know!
Then the Summer came and went with no word at all,
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall!
Wintertime, Summertime, Spring and Fall, it's true,
I'll always be cryin' over you!
Oh I cried, I cried, I cried "Oh please don't go!".
Yes I cried, oh how I cried no one will know!
Then the Summer came and went with no word at all,
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall!
It was Winter when you told me you were leaving,
I cried, oh how I cried "Oh please don't go!".
Came the Springtime with its love song so deceiving,
Yes I cried, oh how I cried no one will know!
Then the Summer came and went with no word at all,
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall!
Wintertime, Summertime, Spring and Fall, it's true,
I'll always be cryin' over you, sweetheart,
I'll always be cryin' over you!
