Classic Poem

  VERSE 1

I remember other days,
How I used to weep
Over things you said to me,
I couldn't even sleep.
You forgot your promises, ev'ry single vow.
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now.

    REFRAIN

I cried for you,
Now it's your turn to cry over me.
Ev'ry road has a turning,
That's one thing you're learning.
I cried for you,
What a fool I used to be.
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer,
I found a heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you,
Now it's your turn to cry for me.

    VERSE 2

How can I forget the hours
That I worried through
Wondering the livelong day
Just what next thing to do?
In those days you never thought anything of me.
But the slave that was all yours now at last is free.
