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 sleepYou 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 sleepYour heart is yearning for an old love
With new love it's useless to complete
It hurts me to know you are unhappy
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleepYou know that you are free to go, dear
And don't mind if I start to weep
I know I can never make you happy
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep
