I CRY ALONE
Burt Bacharach

as rec by Vikki Carr w Orch cond by Bob Florence  1963


I cry alone
When no-one else can hear me;
When friends come by to cheer me,
I smile and say
I feel okay.

But I cry alone
Each lonely night without you,
But when they talk about you,
I make believe
I never grieve.

And here in my room
Where no-one else can find me,
I lock the door behind me,
And I cry,
And I cry!

Please come, please come back to me,
Oh how I long to kiss you!
If friends don't say I miss you,
They've never known
How I cry alone!
