I Cried For You (Now It's Your Turn To Cry Over Me)

Vic Damone · Other Songs - Vic Damone

I remember other days, how I used to weep

Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep

You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow

All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now

I cried for you

Now it's your turn to cry over me

Ev'ry road has a turning

That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you

What a fool I used to be

Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer

I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you

Now it's your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through

Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do

In those days you never thought anything of me

But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you

Now it's your turn to cry over me

Ev'ry road has a turning

That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you

What a fool I used to be

Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer

I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you

Now it's your turn to cry over me
