Natalie Cole

Songwriter: Arthur Hamilton

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember? I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove (that) you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Well you told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say that you love me
Well just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
I wanna see a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
Though that I would lose my mind
I cried a river over you
Really is a shame, and you're to blame
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I'm crying, I'm cryin', I'm cryin'
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
