a 1923 popular song
words and music by Arthur Freed, Gus Arnheim, and Abe Lyman
The sheet music:
Accompaniment from a player piano roll:
Lyrics
- I remember other days, how I used to weep
Over things you said to me, I couldn’t even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
Chorus
I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
Every 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 over me
- How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
