I Cry by Night - Kay Starr, Ben Webster, Richard "Groove" Holmes

Oh, I laugh by day

And I cry by night

I pretend to each friend

That my world is alright

They know you’re gone

And they see

How I feel deep inside

But they’re kind

So they’re blind

To the hurt I can hide

Yes I laugh by day

When people are near

Because what else

What else am I to do

But I cry by night

All alone with my tears

For the what and the need of you

Till you’re back In my arms

Nothing’s good, nothing’s right

I may laugh by day

But I’ll cry, oh I’ll cry by night

I may laugh by day

But I’ll cry, oh I’ll cry by night
