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
But 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're happy
But last night i heard you crying in your sleep

[ steel ]
Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love it's useless to complete
It hurts me to know you are unhappy
But 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
Cause last night i heard you crying in your sleep
