TONIGHT MY HEART SHE IS CRYING
(Abrams / Moisbe / Reid)

Shirley Bassey - 1957
Solomon Burke - 1963


(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)

Tonight my heart she is crying
Tonight my heart she is sad
Tonight the wind she is sighing
For the love that I had

The Moon is there in the sky above
But not the way it was before
My baby's eyes, filled with shining love
Do not see me anymore (Not see her anymore)

(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)

My baby's heart is like the diamond stone
So very beautiful, but cold
My baby's heart is like the diamond stone
So very beautiful, but cold

Tonight my heart she is crying
There is no happiness for me
Tonight my dream she is dying
Like the ripple on the sea

I make the future, I make the plan
The plan she do not turn out right
My baby leave me for another woman
And my heart she cries tonight (Her heart she cries tonight)

Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
