I WANT TO CRY
Harry Pirone (m) Lille Randall (l)   1947

as rec by Dinah Washington w Cootie Williams & his Orch  1947


I want to cry
When I hear your name,
Though time goes by,
I still feel the same!
I want to cry
For dreams we might have shared,
Though I know
You never have cared!

Since you went away,
I've been lonely and blue;
I spend each lonesome day
Just crying for you!
I want to cry,
for what else can I do
When I know
I'll never stop loving you?

Since you've gone away, dear,
I've been so lonesome and blue;
I spend each lonesome day
Just crying for you!
I want to cry,
for what else can I do
When I know
I'll never stop loving you?
