MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IS MY CRYIN' TIME, THE
(Sheb Wooley)

Dean Martin - 1963




When you said goodbye I made up a lie 
Told ev'ryone that I knew
Our love was not real, so I play the field
And that I never loved you

I put up a front and walk down the street
Forcin' a smile all the time
And nobody knows I'm missin' you so
It's drivin' me out of my mind

The middle of the night is when I cry
The middle of the day is when I lie
Tell everyone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time

(Instrumental Break)

All of our friends ask where I've been
They haven't seen me around
I just give a wink and I'm hopin' they'll think
I've been out paintin' the town

Sometimes it seems, alone in my dreams
I'm holdin' you once again
When I awake, it's so hard to take
And that's when the teardrops begin

Oh, the middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the day is my lyin' time
I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time

(Instrumental Break)

I put up a front and walk down the street
Forcin' a smile all the time
And nobody knows that I'm missin' you so
It's drivin' me out of my mind

The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the day is my lyin' time
I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
(The middle of the night is his cryin' time)
The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle..........FADE
