CRY ME A RIVER By Tom Jensen
(for female vocalist)
Cry me a river...
Ten miles wide
Your warm tears will never
Send a shiver...
Up and down my spine
Cry me a river...
Then let me know
when your are through
Of everything that
you promised
Nothing was delivered
When you don't feel as if you're one
Then you should go back to being two
Cry me a river...
And then please won't you paddle away?
I've grown tired of sitting in the dark
Watching the clock
Trying to smile all the while...
I'm waiting for you
I would have put you first
If you put me anywhere but last
Yet as our time in life is slipping
Such time you lose too fast
The time for chasing rainbows
Is now as distant as the stars
Through the mountains you've traversed
You have discovered who you are
You bruise when you bleed
Accept this fact as fate
You know now what you need
For him it's now too late
You would have put him first
If he put you anywhere but last
But as you toasted to the New Year
Broken shattered glass
You would have shown him love
Had he given you a wink
You would have filled his cup with wine
Had he asked you for a drink
To the sparkling gleam in his eye
You've since become blind
Now this is all you can think of
Whenever he enters your mind:
Cry me a river...
Ten miles wide
Your warm tears will never again
send a shiver...
Up and down my spine
Cry me a river...
And then let me know
when your are through
Of everything that was once promised
Nothing was delivered
When you don't feel as if you're one
then you should go back to being two
