Gore, Lesley - Cry Me A River Lyrics

What a beautiful voice

Who wrote this and sang it first?

Ella Fitzgerald was the first to sing it (1961). Gore didn't sing it till 1963.

@Leila Moore actually julie london sang it first

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river, I cried a river over you
And now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river, 'cause I cried a river over you
You drove me nearly out of my head
While you never shed a tear babe
Remember, I remember all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
You told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well just to prove that you do
Why don't you cry me a river
Cry me a river, 'cause I cried a river over you, over you
You say you loved me, but you lied
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Oh cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you, I cried a river
Now you can too, cry me a river
Cry me a river
