También podeis conocer la cantidad de versiones que se han hecho, por esto os dareis cuenta de porqué es un standard. Y no os confundais con la canción del mismo nombre de Justin Timberlake.
Aquí está la letra,
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river I cried, cried, cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said You told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and
Now you say, you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, remember, all that you said Told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and
Now, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do Come on
and cry, cry, cry me a river, cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over you
If my pillow talk, imagine what it would have said Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river Daddy, go ahead and cry that river 'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you How I cried a river over you
