Now you say you're lonely
you cry the long night through
well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried a river over you
now you say you're sorry
for being so untrue
well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried a river over you
Cry
Me A River was written for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in a film –
but it got cut from the movie. I really
like the inventiveness of coming up with the phrase 'cry me a river' – which is
sort of passive aggressive in this context.
Other artists have done the song including – Julie
London, Shirley Bassey, Barbra Streisand and Diana Krall.
