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

I Cry by Night

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
