I know you tried your best to love me

You smiled when your heart told you to weep

You tried to pretend that you were happy

Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

You gave the best years of your life dear

And each precious vow you tried to keep

I love you so much I want you happy

Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

Your heart is yearning for an old love

With new love it's useless to compete

It hurts me to know you are unhappy

Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

You know that you are free to go dear

And don't mind me if I start to weep

I know I can never make you happy

'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep
