I'LL CRY IN MY SLEEP
Hiller / Martin

as rec by Johnnie Ray  1976


I wonder how you are and where you are today,
I know if we both met, I'd know you right away!
Your picture in my mind is as clear as yesterday,
My love!

I wonder if my son looks a bit like me,
i wouldn't even know him if he stood next to me!
A flame that lived and died, oh how cruel life can be,
My love!

And what about you, and how is your life?
Did your story end much better than mine?
Have you found the love that we used to be?
Or are you out there thinking of me?

And what about me, and what of my life?
Well, I've had sucess, I've tasted the wine!
I try to forget, but your cut was deep,
And God only knows, I cry in my sleep.

They took you far away, they wouldn't tell me where;
I told of my love, but they didn't care!
They can't take it away, that's something that we share,
My love!

And what about you, and how is your life?
Did your story end much better than mine?
Have you found the love that we used to be?
Or are you out there thinking of me?

And what about me, and what of my life?
Well, I've had sucess, I've tasted the wine!
I try to forget, but your cut was deep,
And God only knows, I cry in my sleep.

And what about you, and how is your life?
Did your story end much better than mine?
Have you found the love that we used to be?
Or are you out there thinking of me?
