LET’S CRY TOGETHER

(Kennedy Singleton)

As sung by Patti Page 1962 
(with The Merry Melody Singers Orchestra - Jack Kennedy)

The four of us were once
The best of friends
Swore we’d always be together
And our friendship would never end.

But then one day it happened
I lost my love, you lost your love
There they go together
Your Mary and my Joe.

So let’s cry together
And try to forgive them
Though we both know
We never can forget.

(bridge)

Our lives won’t be the same
Now that they’re gone
There’s an emptiness here in our hearts
The place where they belong.

So let’s cry together
My heart is sad, your heart is sad
There they go together
Your Mary and my Joe.

So let’s cry together
And try to forgive them
Though we both know
We never can forget.

I lost my love, you lost your love
My heart is sad, your heart is sad.
