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
Ooh 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 happy
Ooh last night I heard you crying in your sleep

Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love it's useless to compete
It hurts me to know that you're unhappy
Yeah 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 weep
I know I can never make you happy
Cos last night I heard you crying in your sleep
