Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

I Heard You Crying in Your Sleep

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 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,

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 you are unhappy,

'Cause, last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You 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...
