Why Cry - Johnny Carroll

Why Cry

Johnny Carroll

(Johnny Carroll, ROCK BABY ROCK IT, 1957)

Why cry?
Why cry?
Why should I cry for yesterday?
A love built on dreams
Of what tomorrow brings.
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?

And the day you came along,
My heart was all aglow.
There was nothing but laughter,
Cause I loved you so.

A love built on dreams
Of what tomorrow brings.
Why should I cry for yesterday?

Why cry?
Why cry?
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?
Oh a love built on dreams
Of what tomorrow brings.
Oh why should I cry for yosterday?

And the day you came along,
My heart was all aglow.
There was nothing but laughter,
Cause I love you so.

And now that you're gone,
So I sing this song
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?

Why cry?
Why cry?
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?
Oh a love built on dreams
Of what tomorrow brings.
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?
Why cry?
Why cry?
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?

solo

The day you came along,
My heart was all aglow.
There was nothing but laughter,
Cause I love you so.

And now that you're gone,
So I sing this song.
Oh why should I cry for yesterday?

Why cry?
Why cry?
Why should I cry for yesterday?
Why cry?
Why cry?
Why should I cry for yesterday?
