Lyrics Cry Me A River

Cry Me a River is a popular song written by Arthur Hamilton, originally intended for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in the film Pete Kellys Blues (1955), but was ultimately removed from the film. The song gained fame with Julie Londons 1955 version and has become a jazz standard.

Cry Me A River:Julie London
9 on the Pop charts in 1955.
One of the best singers AND song,
ever,in my humble opinion.
(Slow blues)
Now you say you're lonely,
You cry the whole 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 bein' so un..true,
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head,
while you never shed a tear.
Remember...I remember all that you said...
told me love was too plebeian,
told me you were through with me...and...
Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head,
while you never shed a tear.
Remember...I remember all that you said...
told me love was too plebeian,
told me you were through with me...and...
Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
I cried a river..over..you(x3).
A fabulous fifties hit from Kraziekhat.
